Researchers at Purdue University are looking for general aviation pilots to participate in an online study about pilot reports.
The goal of the study, which is partially funded by the FAA NextGen Weather Technology in the Cockpit (WTIC) program, is to evaluate opportunities for speech-based or other hands-free technologies that GA pilots might use to submit PIREPs.
Pilots will be asked to review six weather-related flight scenarios and record PIREPs as if they are flying.
The study takes about 20 minutes and can be completed using a laptop or desktop computer.
Responses to the survey will be completely anonymous, researchers said.
You must be at least 18 to participate.

“Please feel free to share this link with other GA pilots,” the researchers add.
