NASA research team seeks GA pilots' help

Aug. 6 — Okay, pilots, here's your chance to tell one part of government what 
you think about in-cockpit weather services.

A team of researchers from two Virginia universities is working with NASA to 
determine what pilots want and need in an in-flight weather information 
service. They have created two Web sites [<A

HREF="http://www.freesurveysonline.com/fso/asksurvey.fso?Survey=1012&CheckID=973";>site
 2</A>] where pilots may 
take part in the survey.

"This is one opportunity for GA pilots to have ground-floor input into the 
coming datalink technology," said AOPA Director of Advanced Technology Randy 
Kenagy. "We encourage interested pilots to look at the survey."

If you choose to take part, you'll be asked for some background information 
on your aeronautical experience, and then each question twice, to determine 
what you'd like to see and what you'd prefer not to see included in a weather 
information service.
