• Pilot Forecasts• Official flight weather briefings on request

• Flight hazard analysis

• Radar overview

• Information for Passengers

A COMMON PILOT QUESTION IS ABOUT ECHO TOPS

• Operations Management Forecasts• Safety of flight decisions

• Individual flights• Large scale significant weather

• NetJets Significant Weather Operations - SIGOPS

• NetJets promotes the Meteorology Dept as a safety and convenience enhancement to its Owners

• Our forecasts lessen the impact weather has on our Owners• Safety- Never compromised despite the Owners wishes

• Convenience- Anticipating and avoiding weather delays

• Comfort- Anticipating and avoiding flight hazards

• “White Knucklers”

• Weather forecasts outside of flying• A perk to being a NetJets Owner

• The biggest benefit of flying privately is time savings “Value”• Weather delays can eliminate those time savings

• Owners fly where they want when then want

• NetJets utilizes over 1,600 airport locations across the US• Smaller airport = more weather restrictions

• We are responsible for reviewing weather for each passenger flight• Potential weather impacts are communicated to the Owner

Service Team responsible for that Owner• Alternate plans can be discussed to avoid or lessen that impact

• Flight schedule efficiency• Aircraft overnight positioning/hangaring• Large scale / high impact weather events

• Aircraft Protection• Severe weather

• Maintenance• Operational Check Flights• Ramp Personnel Safety

RECOMMENDED PREPOSITIONING DUE TO LIKELY FOG OR LOW IFR

• Dual-Role Forecasting• Operational weather vs Owner

Weather

• Bi-lingual?

• Large forecast region• Less time spent truly forecasting

• Understanding geographic influences

• Public access to weather info• TV / Internet

• Perception vs True Impact

• Lack of aviation knowledge

Because of these challenges we rely on other data sources to aid us with our forecasts.

• TAFS- All 24-30 hrs• Local NWS Discussions- AFDs and Aviation• ADDS and AWC

• CCFP• AIRMETS and SIGMETS• GTG / CIP / FIP• PIREPS

• ATCSCC• NBAA
