Description
The future evolution of weather monitoring systems (i.e. advanced supplementary cockpit weather information systems and those provided to air traffic control for NextGen and SESAR) will allow aircraft and ATC to identify, and then fly routes that have the most favorable weather. These systems will reduce the latency of displayed information in the current NEXRAD system. The source of the latency is processing of the ground-based radar weather data from 159 weather surveillance Doppler radar facilities (WSR-88D). The Weather and Radar Processor (WARP)…

Potential hazard
- Traffic density on these routes rising to unsafe levels
- Dependence on platforms that do not have an inherent safety function
- Information clutter or distraction due to lack of integration.
- NextGen/SESAR hazard condition: Last minute flight plan changes are negotiated as necessary based on the weather changes. Associated human performance hazard: GA pilot fails to incorporate weather information into go/no-go decision.
- NextGen/SESAR hazard condition: Post-departure, the pilot monitors weather updates as provided by automated Weather Advisories. Associated human performance hazard: GA pilot ignores recommended weather advisory.
- NextGen/SESAR hazard condition: Post-departure, the pilot monitors weather updates as provided by automated Weather Advisories. Associated human performance hazard:
- GA pilot ignores recommended weather advisory.
- Commercial pilot ignores recommended weather advisory
