🇬🇧 English

The FAA plans to create a public reporting form for problems with automated surface weather systems used in the National Airspace System, including AWOS and ASOS stations. Pilots, meteorologists, aviation users, and members of the public could voluntarily report outages, bad data, or other safety-related issues through the FAA Aviation Weather Cameras website. After verification, the FAA would use reports to open maintenance tickets and show the real-time service status of affected weather systems on a Surface Weather Status Dashboard, generally within 30 minutes. Comments on the proposed information collection are due by July 10, 2026.
