Survey link: WIMAT Convective Weather Survey

 

The Office of NextGen, Aviation Weather Division, Weather Engineering & Evaluation Branch (ANG-C63) is conducting a survey to identify which convective weather products are being used by various users to include, but not limited to:  FAA Flight Services, Pilots, Dispatchers, and Traffic Management.   ANG-C63 is also seeking input on the type of information that is needed in a convective weather product and how that information is used. Your feedback will help shape how current and future products, services, and information may be produced and delivered in the future. The survey is voluntary and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. The data collected will be analyzed and reported as group data. No personal identifying information will be collected or reported. Your participation is valued and appreciated.

 Specific objectives for this survey are to: 

a.  Identify convective weather products used by the aviation weather community.

b.  Determine overall usability of the convective weather products.

c.  Determine overall preference of the convective weather products.

d.  Identify optimal convective weather products to support decision-making.

e.  Identify weather products that do not support the decision-making processes
