This volume, the first section of a two-part report, contains presentations given at the first two workshops. It includes: Status review of atmospheric turbulence and aircraft response; Measurement of turbulence by specially-equipped aeroplanes -- Summary of atmospheric turbulence data (In-situ measurements) in the USA, Measurement and analysis of low altitude atmospheric turbulence obtained using a specially instrumented GNAT aircraft, Interim comparison of operational CG records in turbulence on small and large civil aircraft, and The NAE atmospheric research aircraft; and Data collection and reduction of incremental accelerations in commercial flights -- Review of measured gust responses in the light of modern analysis methods, Re-assessment of gust statistics using CAADRP data, Acquisition of gust statistics from AIDS-recorded data, and Extreme gust distribution.
