The Route Availability Planning Tool (RAPT): Evaluation of Departure Management Decision Support in New York during the 2008 Convective Weather Season
Severe weather avoidance programs (SWAP) due to convective weather are common in many of the busiest terminal areas in the US National Airspace System (NAS). In order to make efficient use of available airspace in rapidly evolving convective weather, it is necessary to predict the impacts of the weather on key resources (e.g., departure and arrival routes and fixes), with frequent updates as th...
متن کاملEvaluation of Weather Impact Models in Departure Management Decision Support: Operational Performance of the Route Availability Planning Tool (rapt) Prototype
There is a critical need for improved departure management during convective weather events in the highly congested airspace in the Northeast and upper Midwest. An early study (Allan, 2001) of the New York Integrated Terminal Weather System (ITWS) prototype suggested that small increases in New York airport departure rates during Severe Weather Avoidance Programs (SWAP) could result in signific...

متن کاملSevere Weather Avoidance Program Performance Metrics for New York Departure Operations*
When operationally significant weather affects the National Airspace System (NAS) a Severe Weather Avoidance Program (SWAP) is initiated. Each SWAP event is a unique mix of demand, weather conditions, traffic flow management (TFM) initiatives and traffic movement. Following a SWAP, the day’s events are reviewed and the TFM initiatives used are evaluated to understand their impact on the traffic...
متن کاملPage 1 of 13 EXPLORATION OF A MODEL RELATING ROUTE AVAILABILITY IN EN ROUTE AIRSPACE TO ACTUAL WEATHER COVERAGE PARAMETERS
A major concern in contemporary traffic flow management (TFM) is improving decision making when severe convective weather (Wx) impacts en route sectors throughout the National Airspace System (NAS). The FAA is currently seeking to reduce these convective weather delays through the use of multi-hour (e.g. 4 and 6 hour) Wx forecasts coupled with strategic planning by the FAA traffic flow managers...
