 —163- APPENDIX H

On July 22, 1985, the FAA informed the Safety Board about the FAA's latest plans and progress towards the development of an air carrier wind shear training document and on the FAA's Aviation Behavioral Technology Program with regard to cockpit resource management. The Safety Board found that the plans described by the FAA would comply with the intent of Safety Recommendations A-85-26 and A—85-27 when implemented. Accordingly, both recommendations were classified "Open-- Acceptable Action," pending completion of the FAA‘s efforts. .

In addition, the Safety Board has investigated three accidents which, while-not involving low—level wind shear situations, resulted in the issuance of recommendations to the FAA on the subject of the timely detection of severe weather. These accidents were Ozark Airlines at St.vLouis, Missouri, on July 23, 1973; Southern Airways, Inc., at New. Hope, Georgia, on April 4, 1977, and Air Wisconsin at Valley, Nebraska, on June 12, 1980. These accidents resulted in Safety Recommendations A-74-13, A-77—63, and A—80—118, respectively, which follow: v '

Develop and install terminal air traffic control radar capable of locating severe weather and displaying convective turbulence. This radar should be used to vector'aircraft around severe weather. (A—74—13) (issued April 18, 1974) '

Expedite the development and implementation of an aviation weather

' subsystem for both en route and terminal area environments, which is

_ capable ‘of providing real—time display of either precipitation or ‘ turbulence, or both and which includes a multiple—intensity classification ' scheme. Transmit this information to pilots either via the controller as a safety advisory or via- an electronic data link. (A-77-63) (issued September 27, 1977) ' ' ' ; ‘

Expedite the development of an integrated weather radar/air traffic control radar single video display system capable of providing multiple weather echo intensity discrimination without derogation of air traffic control radar intelligence. (A-80-118) (issued November 19, 1980)

‘ The FAA provided an additional response to these recommendations on May 5, 1986. - In its response, the FAA informed the Safety Board of several ongoing programs that, when cOmpleted, would satisfy the intent Vof these recommendations. The Safety Board requested to be periodically informed of the progress of these programs. Pending - completion of the FAA‘s efforts regarding Safety Recommendations A-74—13, A-77-63, and A-80—118, they are now classified as "Open-Acceptable Ac’tion."
