The FAA and NASA are investigating concepts for providing automated support to pilots in obtaining and using weather information. The pilot's Automated Weather Support System (PAWSS) activity is using computer technology to assist the pilot in acquiring and displaying weather information in the cockpit, and to assist in assessing and applying weather data in flight management and en route support. The PAWSS concepts include data link communications with a short update cycle of new weather data, color-coded map depictions with alpha-numeric data available for backup and detailed data presentation, automated monitoring of weather trends with alerting for hazardous conditions, and expert system technology applications in weather data assessments and flight management applications.
