An aviation weather information dissemination system and method involves regional weather-information accumulating and interpreting stations (12A-O) located throughout a geographic area (10). Each regional weather-information and interpreting station communicates with sources (16, 20 and 24) of current weather information peculiar to widely scattered geographic locations, within the geographic area (10). The system also includes a plurality of terminals which communicate with the regional weather-information accumulating and interpreting stations (12) via telephone lines, with each regional station serving particular terminals (14). The regional stations (12), in response to receiving origin and destination points of flights from said terminals (14), compute tentative flight paths between said origin and destination points and provide weather information to the terminals (14) in particular sequences relative to the origins and destinations. Upon demand, the regional stations (12) provide to the terminals national weather maps, flight path weather data sequenced relative to origin and destination points, destination point radar scans, and computer calculated flight plans.
