Weather in the Cockpit (WITC )- Concept of Operations
This project is to develop a Concept of Operations (ConOps) for Next Generation (NextGen) aviation weather information to the cockpit. The ConOps for NextGen will need to be developed and defined in a number of places for the information to be properly presented and implemented. The ConOps will be centered on the General Aviation (GA) pilot in the cockpit on the ramp and his ability to look at a Multi Function Display (MFD) that shows his area of intended operation and immediately see any areas of weather activity that he/she might want to avoid. When the flight plan is entered in the navigation system it is displayed on the MFD and weather hazards are displayed for easy visualization of weather hazards relative to planned route of flight. The development of this ConOps will involve a literature search on cockpit weather delivery to include FAA Advisory Circulars, NASA reports, academic research papers and trade journal articles
