Weather is one of the major causes of aviation accidents. General aviation (GA) flights account for 92% of all the aviation accidents. In spite of all the official and unofficial sources of weather visualization tools available to pilots, there is an urgent need for visualizing several weather related data tailored for general aviation pilots. Our system, Aviation Weather Data Visualization Environment (AWE), presents graphical displays of meteorological observations, terminal area forecasts, and winds aloft forecasts onto a cartographic grid specific to the pilot's area of interest. Decisions regarding the graphical display and design are made based on careful consideration of user needs. Integral visual display of these elements of weather reports is designed for the use of GA pilots as a weather briefing and route selection tool. AWE provides linking of the weather information to the flight's path and schedule. The pilot can interact with the system to obtain aviation-specific weather for the entire area or for his specific route to explore what-if scenarios and make "go/no-go" decisions. The system, as evaluated by some pilots at NASA Ames Research Center, was found to be useful.

“…A summary of the SVS Cooperative Agreement industry and university activities is included in an article by George (1999). A similar summary ofthe AWIN Cooperative Agreements with industry and universities is in included an article by Stough et al (1999). Both these projects aim to provide feasible technologies for implementation in both older, existing aircraft as well as new, more advanced aircraft, including commercial transport, business, general aviation and rotorcraft.…”

The goal of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Aviation Safety program is to reduce the number of fatal aircraft accidents worldwide by 80% within 10 years and by 90% within 20 years. Because flight crew error is cited as a causal factor in approximately 70% of aviation accidents occurring from 1985 to 1995 (Boeing, 1996), NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) is leading studies for the Aviation Safety program toward reducing flight crew error with synthetic vision and improved aviation weather information. Synthetic vision is defined as augmented visual displays in which terrain, traffic, and obstacle database information, enhanced by computer graphics and other information, are presented to the flight crew. The Aviation Weather Information (AWIN) project involves determining flight crew requirements for cockpit weather information, integrating weather information products on the flight deck, and designing proper interfaces for their use. This paper presents results of studies to date in these two areas which are leading to new design concepts for significant mitigation of flight crew error. Indications arc presented of the relative contributions of these teclmologies to the Aviation Safety program goal of reduced aviation accidents worldwide.

“…In another study, Luers and Haines showed that two different aircraft crashes they examined were caused by heavy rain and that heavy rain could be as dangerous as wind shear (Luers and Haines, 1981). In their study conducted in 2000, Stough et al , who examined aircraft accidents caused by weather events such as turbulence, lighting and fog in the past two decades, reported that 33% of the accidents were caused by adverse weather conditions (Stough et al , 2000). Oo and Oo, who examined the aircraft crashes caused by weather events for Yangon region in Myanmar, said that the most important weather event causing aircraft crashes was fog and stormy rain (Oo and Oo, 2022).…”

Purpose One of the sectors most affected by the variable weather events caused by climate change and global warming is the aviation sector. Especially in aircraft accidents, weather events increasing with climate change and global warming are effective. The purpose of this study is to determine how much the change in weather conditions caused by global warming and climate changes affect the aircraft in the world between the years 2010 and 2022. Design/methodology/approach In this study, it was investigated which weather events were more effective in aircraft crashes by determining the rates of air events and aircraft crashes in aircraft crashes with a passenger capacity of 12 or more that occurred between 2010 and 2022. Findings It is clearly seen that increasing weather conditions with global warming and climate change increase the effect of weather conditions in aircraft crashes. Originality/value The difference of this study from other studies is the evaluation of the data of the past 12 years, in which the increasing consequences of global warming and climate change have been felt more. It also reveals the necessity of further research on the effects of weather conditions on aircraft.
