NTSB To Examine Use of Pireps
Safety board member Robert Sumwalt expressed concern that Pireps are not as effective as they could be.

The National Transportation Safety Board is examining whether the pilot weather report system, commonly called Pireps, needs improvement and how other technologies could enhance the flow of weather information. The Safety Board is holding a forum on June 21 and 22 titled “Pireps: Pay it Forward…Because Weather for One is Weather for None.” The event is expected to attract the participation of 16 industry groups, federal agencies and academic organizations.
