Pilot Report (PIREP) Data Publication

1. ARTCCs NNCCs Voice PIREP Pilot Report (PIREP) Data Publication The Aviation Weather Center (AWC) provides dedicated 7X24-hour services for aviation, including the generation of advisories on significant weather impacting aviation (e.g., AIRman's METeorological Information (AIRMETs), Significant METeorological Information (SIGMETs), and Convective SIGMETs). An important ingredient in AIRMETs and SIGMETs is the Pilot Report (PIREP). During SWIM Segment 1, a new capability is being developed so that when En Route controllers receive these voice reports, they will be able to efficiently enter them into ERAM, which will transmit the reports to WMSCR for distribution to the AWC. Today, it is estimated that approximately 90% of voice-received PIREPs ‘fall on the floor.’ Capture of crucial pilot observations by ERAM and distribution of these to other NAS users (including the AWC, NWS, Airlines, and General Aviation) by WMSCR via a new SWIM service will significantly enhance NAS safety. SWIM will greatly increase the scope of coverage of the pilot reported weather product.
