Abstract

Weather data is critical to aviation. Yet, the weather is often presented independent of situation displays that support users of aviation systems. Unique displays, different systems, and a small set of weather products are used to depict current and forecasted weather data normally associated with flights and areas of interest on the situation display. Pilot briefing systems today typically feature data presented in a text-base or written format, while air traffic situation displays are typically presented as graphical or visual based weather data. This paper will present innovative examples of how to present traditional text weather on air traffic situation displays, and graphics based weather in pilot briefings.
