Who must controllers relay pertinent PIREP information to?

• A. Flight Data Specialists
• B. Concerned aircraft, and in a timely manner
• C. Weather Equipment Technicians
• D. Flight Standards

Answer: (B)

Pilots provide PIREPs to share real-time weather and airspace conditions they’re experiencing, and controllers must pass that information to other aircraft that could be affected. The key is getting timely, pertinent reports to the crews in the vicinity so they can adjust flight paths, altitudes, or plans to avoid hazards like turbulence, icing, or low visibility. This isn’t about sending the report to ground staff or technicians; it’s about informing the pilots who are flying nearby or along the same route. Because weather can change quickly, delivering the PIREP promptly maximizes safety and decision-making for all affected crews.
