The study deals with 97 turbulence-involved U. S. air carrier accidents occurring from 1964-1969. Based on the detailed investigation of those accidents, there is discussed lessons to be learned primarily from the point of view of the meteorologist, the air carrier and the pilot. Observations are made and conclusions drawn in regard to such factors as the adequacy of CAT (clear air turbulence) versus thunderstorm-associated turbulence forecasts, the use of airborne weather radar maintenance problems, the requirement for real-time data in the cockpit, CAT detectors, turbulence associated losses, the nuisance problem and information derived from cockpit voice recorders and flight data recorders.
