NAS OPERATIONS: WX/ATM INTEGRATION

All airspace is not created equal Up to 50% of Ground

Stop/GDPs are at a NYC airport

1/3 of all US flights are directly affected by NYC/PHL delays

Pre-DOT rule, vast majority of 3-hour tarmac delays departing NYC airports

“One-size-fits-all” products are less effective for NYC ops

COLLABORATIVE DECISION MAKING

Mission: Evolve the CCFP concept Keep up with the state

of forecast science Incorporate new tech Flexible and tailored to

NAS constraints: focus resources, maximize efficacy

Operational Bridging Aviation Weather

GROUND OPS/INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNINGA CURRENT GAP

De-icing/anti-icing – holdover/allowance time Currently based on P-type, intensity Often difficult to forecast/plan

Gap in forecasting beyond 2 hours TAF format restricts expressing forecast for low-

probability/high impact events (FZRA, ice pellets etc.)

The weather community succeeds when connected to its customers Forecasts built around

the needs of the user ...but flexible to evolve

with those needs Lessons from the ATM

world apply outside the field as well
