Narrative:

Pilot in command experienced heavy turbulence and LLWS at xsa; as well as enroute back to flight point of origin at 2w6. Pilot in command called FSS at the conclusion of the flight to submit a PIREP to advise other GA aircraft in the vicinity of potentially hazardous turbulence. The first PIREP submitted was submitted as a uua PIREP; describing heavy turbulence and possible LLWS during final approach and landing at xsa. The second PIREP was a ua code; concerning moderate to severe turbulence at about the pxt 240 degree radial at 15 NM at 3;000 ft MSL. The pilot in command has a habit of verifying if the PIREP was entered correctly by means of using both adds and duat. Upon checking both sites; all that was seen (a query for PIREPS submitted over the last 6 hours was used) was a ua PIREP at the pxt 240 degree radial at 5 NM; a P28R reporting light chop. The uua PIREP submitted for the hazardous conditions at xsa was not entered by the FSS representative. This; in the opinion of the pilot in command; represents a potential safety of flight hazard. It is the opinion of the pilot in command that there should be a mechanism for reporting PIREPS outside of ATC and FSS. It would be prudent that a website be created or a mechanism within duat/duats be created to allow pilots to submit PIREPS electronically. This would encourage more pilot weather reporting and contribute to increased flight safety.

Title: General aviation pilot described turbulence event; reported PIREP specifics to FSS; follow up check on PIREP information indicated incorrect FAA data issued; reporter suggesting alternate means of PIREP input.

The first PIREP submitted was submitted as a UUA PIREP; describing heavy turbulence and possible LLWS during final approach and landing at XSA. The second PIREP was a UA code; concerning moderate to severe turbulence at about the PXT 240 degree radial at 15 NM at 3;000 FT MSL. The Pilot in Command has a habit of verifying if the PIREP was entered correctly by means of using both ADDS and DUAT. Upon checking both sites; all that was seen (a query for PIREPS submitted over the last 6 hours was used) was a UA PIREP at the PXT 240 degree radial at 5 NM; a P28R reporting light chop.
