Podcast: Long-Term Weather Implications for Aviation

Aug. 8, 2022

Changing weather patterns are affecting aviation, and among the greatest resulting risks to air safety is clear air turbulence (CAT). A recent study by atmospheric scientist Dr. Paul Williams has led him to predict that severe CAT will increase in the future. However, flight attendant Judy Reif says there are ample resources flight crews can use to mitigate the impact of CAT.

In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:

• John Kosak, CAM, weather program manager, NBAA Air Traffic Services
• Judy Reif, flight attendant, JR Flight Services and chair, NBAA Weather Subcommittee
• Dr. Paul Williams, professor of atmospheric science, Department of Meteorology, University of Reading
