About This Course

Topic: This FAA Presented Session Will Discuss How Perception Versus Reality Could Influence A Pilot’s Weather Related Decision Making.

Weather-related accidents continue to result in the highest number of General Aviation fatalities each year. In many of these accidents, poor or improper pilot decision-making has been identified as a causal factor. Pilot perception of weather displays versus reality of the weather plays a vital role in their decision-making processes. Incorrect perception of weather displays could lead to pilots ignoring or misinterpreting external visual cues that require their attention and action to avoid hazardous weather. The purpose of this session is to discuss how perception versus reality could influence a pilot’s weather-related decision-making. We will discuss factors that affect pilot perception, influences of pilot weather perception, review accidents/incidents where the pilot relied on perception versus reality, and review tools available to identify, assess and mitigate risk.
