Weather cameras were first deployed by the FAA in Alaska and are now making their way across the country, as a tool to help pilots evaluate the weather along their route during flight planning. Recent developments, supported by AOPA, has the program poised to add 160 sites in thirty-nine states over the next few years, greatly increasing access to weather data. The nature of this system and how to use it will be explained, with examples from multiple locations. In a separate activity lead by AOPA, the FAA has approved adding new features to VFR flight charts to improve situational awareness for VFR pilots when navigating and communicating while flying through mountain passes. These developments will be presented, along with a look at how they are expected to improve aviation safety. Presentation by Tom George, AOPA Alaska Regional Manager
