Description
This module addresses issues surrounding the direct and indirect impacts of restricted ceilings and visibilities on aviation operations and also briefly examines their impacts on ground and marine transportation. The goal is improve forecaster awareness of how their forecasts of these events affect commercial and general aviation operation. This module is part of the Distance Learning Course 1: Forecasting Fog and Low Stratus.
Objectives
•Increase awareness of the various users of ceilings and visibility forecasts and how forecasts of these conditions impact (both positively and negatively) aviation operations within each user group o Improve forecaster understanding of the impacts of reduced visibility and ceilings on commercial and general aviation operations o Improve forecaster understanding of the impact to aviation operations from forecasts (TAFs) of reduced ceiling and visibility due to fog and low stratus o Provide recommendations on how and when to amend TAFs to best reflect current and forecast conditions • Increase awareness of the need to be knowledgeable about supported airport configurations • Increase knowledge of critical thresholds and their variations from one airport to another and one user group to another
