Innovation Graphical display of Weather
Information (not data) in the Cockpit made
possible through low cost, datalink for ground to
cockpit transmission for General Aviation
provides e-mail messaging from the cockpit.
Accomplishments Global Positioning Satellite
(GPS) navigation, graphical display on cockpit
management systems, and wireless datalink
communications technology, has formed the
hardware basis for the Weather in the Cockpit
System
Cockpit Navigation Display Weather Overlay
Government/Science Applications -Weather Display
on its Moving map for situational
awareness Two-way datalink communications
Cockpit Display of Traffic Partnerships created
with major weather research vendor - NCAR to
improve hazardous weather prediction depict it
intuitively for future GA cockpit. The technology
creates a reduction in pilot work load
and improve safety
