In response to the National Research Council report, Aviation Weather ServicesA Call for Federal Leadership and Action (NRC 1995), the National Aviation Weather Program Council (NAW/PC), one of the interagency program councils sponsored by the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research (OFCM), published the National Aviation Weather Program Strategic Plan (OFCM 1997). In February 1997, the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security recommended a national goal for government and industry of reducing the rate of fatal aviation accidents by a factor of five (an 80 percent reduction) within 10 years. In February 1999, the NAW/PC approved and released National Aviation Weather Initiatives (OFCM 1999), which cited the 80% fatal accident rate reduction challenge and acknowledged the responsibility of the aviation weather community to contribute to achieving that national goal. The Strategic Plan and the Initiatives were the first steps in a process, coordinated by the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology, to lead a Federal response to the NRC and White House Commission challenges. This report documents the results of that effort, in terms of both the activities undertaken by OFCM and the Federal agencies and the trends in weather-related aviation accidents during the 10-year period (1997-2006).
