The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has asked the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Weather Service (NWS) to provide more detailed, timely weather information to pilots, allowing the airmen to “properly balance risks and make sound decisions when determining to fly.” The board’s recommendations are based on accident investigations conducted by the NTSB involving aircrafts that encountered adverse weather conditions including dense fog, icing, turbulence, and low-level wind shear. Aviation International Newsreports that while the NWS does provide weather information to pilots, there are no requirements for them to do so.
