This report presents a mid-course assessment of progress toward the goal of reducing weather-related fatal accidents by 80 percent over ten years. In February 1997, the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security recommended an 80 percent reduction in fatal aviation accidents from all causes as a ten-year national goal. In its 1999 report on National Aviation Weather Initiatives, the National Aviation Weather Program Council identified initiatives being pursued by federal agencies in collaboration with their industry and university partners. The Initiatives report also discussed an 80 percent reduction in weather-related accidents as an overall measure of success. To assess progress toward this goal, this report examines trends in weather-related accidents for clearly defined categories of aircraft and weather hazards. In each category, an 80 percent reduction from the average accident rate just before and during 1997 is used as a benchmark for assessing success in reducing accident risk.
