SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

In 1999, the FAA established an 

Aviation Weather Technology Transfer 

(AWTT) Board to manage the orderly 

transfer of weather capabilities and 

products from research and 

development into operations. The 

Manager of Operations Planning Policy 

and Administration chairs the AWTT 

Board. The board is composed of 

stakeholders in the Air Traffic 

Organization, ATO and Regulation and 

Certification, AVR in the Federal 

Aviation Administration and the Office 

of Climate, Water and Weather Services, 

OS and the Office of Science and 

Technology, OST in the National 

Weather Service. 

The AWTT Board meets semiannually or as needed, to determine the 

readiness of weather research and 

development (R&D) products for 

experimental use, full operational use 

for meteorologists or full operational use 

for end users. The board’s 

determinations will be based upon 

criteria in the areas of users’ needs; 

benefits; costs; risks; technical 

readiness; operational readiness and 

budget requirements. 

The user interface process is designed 

to allow FAA to both report progress 

and receive feedback from industry 

users. Each AWTT board meeting will 

be preceded by a half-day industry 

review session approximately one 

month prior to each board meeting. 

These industry review sessions will be 

announced in the Federal Register and 

open to all interested parties. 

This meeting is the industry review 

session intended to receive feedback on 

weather R&D products that will be 

presented for consideration at the 

November 2004 AWTT Board meeting. 

The products to be considered are the 

Graphical Turbulence Guidance Flight 

(GTG) Flight Level 100–200 and the 

Forecast Icing Product—Alaska (FIP–

AK). 

Meeting Procedures 

(a) The meeting will be informal in 

nature and will be conducted by 

representatives of the FAA 

Headquarters. 

(b) The meeting will be open to all 

persons on a space-available basis.

meeting site with sufficient seating 

capacity for the expected participation.

conjunction with the NBAA Convention 

2004. There is a charge to attend the 

NBAA convention; however, any person 

desiring to attend this informal meeting 

will be admitted by NBAA convention 

officials at no charge to this meeting 

only. 

(c) FAA personnel will present a 

briefing on changes to the AWTT and 

user input process made in the last year. 

Any person will be allowed to ask 

questions during the presentation and 

FAA personnel will clarify any part of 

that presentation that is not clear.

briefing on the specific products to be

Board Meeting. Any person will be 

allowed to ask questions during the 

presentation and FAA personnel will 

clarify any part of the presentation that 

is not clear.

attending the meeting. The meeting will 

not be formally recorded.
