Long-awaited FAA aviation weather cameras could soon be up and running in Hawaii. In November, the agency began engineering surveys required for the installation of the first 10 of 23 planned camera systems there.
Hawaii’s mountainous terrain, rapidly-changing weather conditions, and vexing microclimates often render traditional weather forecasts and reporting of little value. The deficiencies have long been cited as factors in aviation accidents there involving inadvertent entry into instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) and the resulting loss of control, as well as controlled flight into terrain (CFIT). The NTSB and the state’s helitour industry have long called for a weather camera system similar to those already installed in Alaska and Colorado.

That s according to a release from the Southeast Alaska Conservation Council which says the audit was obtained via a lawsuit filed by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility and a Freedom of Information request it filed.
Sally Schlichting is a policy analyst for SEACC s Tongass Forest Program. She said it looks like the valuation was done incorrectly for both the Big Thorne and Kosciusko Island timber sales, And she said there are some issues with how the Good Neighbor authority sale on Kosciusko Island was being carried out.
