TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus for providing weather information onboard an aircraft includes a processor unit and a graphical user interface, where the processor unit processes weather information after it is received onboard the aircraft from a ground-based source.
Abstract: An apparatus for providing weather information onboard an aircraft includes a processor unit and a graphical user interface. The processor unit processes weather information after it is received onboard the aircraft from a ground-based source, and the graphical user interface provides a graphical presentation of the weather information to a user onboard the aircraft. Preferably, the graphical user interface includes one or more user-selectable options for graphically displaying at least one of convection information, turbulence information, icing information, weather satellite information, SIGMET information, significant weather prognosis information, and winds aloft information.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of weather display symbology on pilot behavior and decision-making were examined in a cockpit simulation with 24 instrument-rated general aviation (GA) pilots.
