Tools and Technologies to Avoid “UMC”

There are a variety of tools and technologies aviators can use to avoid and/or safely mitigate what we’ve dubbed as UMC, or Unfriendly Meteorological Conditions. Learn more inside our new issue of FAA Safety Briefing magazine.

Feature articles cover some of the FAA’s weather research work and programs, including more effective ways to convey cockpit weather imagery, icing avoidance, and the use of weather cameras.

We also sit down with the new FAA Administrator, Steve Dickson, to discuss his take on general aviation safety.
