FAA weather camera webinar
The FAA Weather Camera Program is an expanding network of cameras designed to make general aviation safer. Pilots, air traffic controllers, and others in the aviation community can use the cameras for preflight planning and making that critical go/no-go decision.
As the FAA plans to expand the network throughout the continental United States, the agency aims to provide educational and informational overviews to interested users of the program.
“The Weather Camera program is an example of the FAA’s commitment to bring data driven technology and innovation to the aviation community as well as increase safety by providing real time images and weather information to pilots before and during flight,” said Kathleen Edic, FAA director of Flight Service. “This program has made a significant impact in reducing weather related accidents and flight disruptions, and we are excited to work with aviation stakeholders as we plan the expansion of the camera network throughout the continental United States.”
Webinar participants can look forward to hearing from a panelist board that includes Weather Camera Program Manager Cohl Pope, AOPA Alaska Regional Manager Tom George, pilots who use the cameras, and representatives from states that are implementing the Weather Camera program.
Panelists will also answer questions after the presentation and anticipate an informed discussion about this impactful technology.
