SYSTEM OVERVIEW Hazard Avoidance PIREPs and AIREPs Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs) (Figure 6-39) provide weather observations collected from pilots. When significant weather conditions are reported or forecast, Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities are required to solicit PIREPs. A PIREP may contain adverse weather conditions, such as low in-flight visibility, icing conditions, wind shear, and turbulence. PIREPs are issued as either Routine (UA) or Urgent (UUA). Another type of PIREP is an Air Report (AIREP). AIREPs are used almost exclusively by commercial airlines.
