AOPA Air Safety Foundation President Bruce Landsberg is participating in a working group that is advising the government on how to transform the way weather information is managed and applied in the NextGen air transportation system. He is collaborating with several federal government agencies, including the FAA, NTSB, and National Weather Service, on weather issues facing general aviation pilots.  Landsberg will provide his expertise to the Weather Working Group of the NextGen Institute, an organization created to provide the government with private-sector insight into the modernization of the air transportation system. The working group will develop strategies to provide pilots and other users of the system with more useful information on weather issues and to reduce air traffic delays caused by weather. "We need timely, accurate, and cost-effective technology to improve the GA weather safety record," Landsberg said.
