Pilot reports (PIREPs) are reports made by pilots concerning the weather conditions they experience during flight. PIREPs are one of the most important sources that provide in situ observations that can be used by pilots and others to avoid weather hazards. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends pilots to submit at least one PIREP on each flight, regardless of whether the encountered weather is good or bad or match weather forecasts (NTSB, 2017).
