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 (R&D) into operations. The 

Director, Systems Engineering, 

Operations Planning, Air Traffic 

Organization chairs the AWTT Board. 

The board is composed of stakeholders 

in the Air Traffic and Aviation Safety 

organizations in the Federal Aviation 

Administration and the Office of 

Climate, Water and Weather Services, 

the Office of Science and Technology, 

and the National Center for 

Environmental Predictions (NCEP) in 

the National Weather Service. 

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

readiness of weather R&D products for 

experimental use or full operational use 

for meteorologists or for end users. The 

board makes the determination based on 

technical and operational readiness, 

cost and benefits, user needs and budget 

considerations. 

FAA has the sole responsibility and 

authority to make decisions intended to 

provide a safe, secure, and efficient U.S. 

national airspace system. However, it 

behooves FAA to not make decisions in 

a vacuum. Rather, FAA is seeking 

inputs from the user community before 

decisions are finalized. 

Industry users are invited to 

participate in one-day meetings two or 

three times per year to give specific 

feedback to the Government. Meetings 

are often focused on a specific domain 

(e.g. terminal, enroute) or specific 

weather phenomena (e.g. turbulence, 

convection) but may also focus on 

specific weather products ready for 

operational decisions. Meetings will 

include a time for users to provide input 

on specific weather products and to 

surface issues on concerns with those 

products. The industry review sessions 

will be announced in the Federal 

Register and open to all interested 

parties. 

This meeting is the industry session 

focused on convective weather 

products, roadmaps and research 

activities. 

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. 

Every effort was made to provide a 

meeting site with sufficient seating 

capacity for the expected participation. 

There will be neither admission fee nor 

other charge to attend and participate. 

This meeting is being held in 

conjunction with the NBAA Convention 

2006. There is a charge to attend the 

NBAA convention; however, any person 

desiring to attend this informal meeting 

will be admitted to NBAA convention 

officials to this meeting only, at no 

charge. 

(c) FAA personnel will conduct 

overview briefings on aviation weather 

products, the status of on-going 

research, the implementation of the 

Graphical Turbulence Guidance (GTG) 

product and the newly developed safety 

risk assessment process. Questions may 

be asked during the presentation and 

FAA personnel will clarify any part of 

the process that is not clear. 

(d) Any person present may offer 

comment or feedback in the session. 

Comments and feedback will be 

captured through discussion between 

FAA personnel and those persons 

attending the meeting. 

(e) FAA will not take any action items 

from this meeting nor make any 

commitments to accept specific user 

suggestions. An official verbatim 

transcript of the meeting will not be 

made. However, a list of the attendees 

and a digest of discussions during the 

meeting will be produced and posted on 

a Web site. Instructions to access the 

Web site will be provided to all persons 

attending the meeting and provided to 

any who desire it.
