<br />6.0 SAFEGUARDS AGAINST HAZARDOUS EFFECTS <br /> <br />Although weather modification is itself is not directly <br />hazardous, there are certain precautions which should be taken <br />against potential contributing hazards. These are in the area <br />of aircraft flight safety and severe weather, <br /> <br />To assure appropriate and safe operations, the follow- <br />ing policies will apply: <br /> <br />a. All pilots will be selected on the basis of their <br />integrity, experience, and airmanship, <br /> <br />b. Prior to commencement of seeding operations, pilots <br />will be given a refresher course covering FAA traffic control <br />and coordination procedures as they apply to the project. <br /> <br />c. All aircraft must be certified airworthy in accor- <br />dance with appropriate FAA regulations. <br /> <br />d. The Project Director, licensee, will attempt to <br />keep pilots informed of storm developments that could present <br />a hazard to them and, where appropriate, he will provide them <br />with navigational data needed to avoid hazardous storm develop- <br />ments reflected by his radar data. However, pilots will always <br />be the final authority in all matters pertaining to flying <br />safety, and they may decide not to take off or to terminate any <br />mission at any time they think operations cannot be conducted <br />safely. pilots will advise the Project Director, licensee, <br />when they elect not to position themselves as suggested or dir- <br />ected by him for release of seeding materials. <br />
