1. Aviation Weather: Opportunities for Implementation
Panel 3 - Training
Moderator: Ms. Melissa Bailey, Director, Air Traffic Services, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association
Rapporteur: Mr. Floyd Hauth, Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology (Science and Technology Corp)
Rapporteur: Dr. Wayne Estabrooks, Assistant Federal Coordinator for USN/USMC, Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology

2. Training Air Force Weather
Officer and enlisted training geared to operational support of Air Force and Army at unit level
Aircrews trained at pilot training and periodic refresher courses at base level

3. Training(2) National Weather Service
Trains forecasters on aviation weather
Cooperates with other agencies to develop training materials for users of aviation weather products (e.g. COMET modules)

4. Training(3) Federal Aviation Administration
Sources of training guidance
Government (AIM, Advisory Circulars)
Industry
Product development must include training capabilities and training must facilitate integration with other weather sources

5. Training(4) National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Icing education and training provided by
Video
Computer-based training
Pilot flight training simulator

6. Training(5) Allied Pilots Association
Must be consistent training at 3 levels
Weather theory
State of the atmosphere
Impact of weather on flight

7. Training(6) Air Safety Foundation
General aviation training needs are different
Less weather tolerant
Biggest challenge is VFR flight into Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC)
Need more information, not data
Merit of PIREPs
Simplify = Safety

8. Training(7)
Implementation of technology does not occur until pilots are properly trained
