Description
Severe weather events are increasingly leading to operational disruptions and safety concerns for individual flights. The frequency of these events has increased due to climate change, presenting significant challenges for aviation.
A safety issue arises from the lack of well-defined flight planning and monitoring procedures. This deficiency can result in flights continuing toward their destinations without access to the most up-to-date meteorological information. This includes essential awareness of hazardous weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, hurricanes, and flooding. Such conditions can severely impact the availability of navigation aids and compromise runway safety, leading to potential risks for aircraft in transit and at landing.
