Key Take-Aways: North Carolina study assessed low-altitude weather phenomena by using ground-based sensors to capture real-time weather data critical for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). The assessment’s results provide critical information for infrastructure, flight routes, and ground operations planning considerations across North Carolina to enable AAM. Washington Warren Airport is on a growing list of weather…
