|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flight Delay Information | FAA | Airport departure/arrival delay information | This webpage shows a map of major U.S. airports and color-codes them by general delay time (in minutes). There are also options to view specific regions, specific airports, and specific major airports. | |
| ATCSCC Advisories | FAA | Traffic management advisories | This webpage gives options to show broad categories of traffic management advisories issued by the FAA Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC) and/or NAVCANADA. To show absolutely all advisories, select the bubble "ATCSCC and Canadian Advisories", verify the date in the dropdown is correct, and press "Show Selected Advisories". The resulting page will contain all advisories including ground stops, operations plans, and reroute advisories. | |
| Airport Arrival Demand Chart (AADC) | FAA | Arrival demand by airport | The AADC shows actual arrival demand (the number of flights destined to a particular airport) in 1-hour, 30-minute, and 15-minute intervals. The desired airport can be selected in the first dropdown and the type of data displayed can be chosen in the second dropdown. For each bar, the total (stacked) height represents ALL flights between HH:00:00 and HH:59:59 whose destination is the selected airport. The solid black line in the chart shows the airport's declared arrival rate (how many aircraft can be accepted in one hour, based on many factors including runway configuration), as determined by the TMU personnel at that facility. | |
| Current Reroute Advisories | FAA | Reroute advisories | This webpage shows active reroutes issued by FAA ATCSCC. | |
| Current Restrictions | FAA | Restrictions | This webpage gives choices to show specific (or multiple) facility restrictions including miles-in-trail, fix stops, and special use airspace (SUA) activity. | Requesting means the facility (center, TRACON, etc.) that would like the restriction; providing means the facility who is responsible for meeting that restriction to the requesting facility. |
| EDCT Lookup | FAA | Expect Departure Clearance Times (EDCT) | This webpage shows if an EDCT was issued to a specific callsign or aircraft registration based on its route of flight. | |
| Operational Information System (OIS) | FAA | * Operational information * Specific airport AARs for major airports * International information * Capping and tunneling plans * Tier info |
This webpage is the general one-stop for real-time FAA information including ground stops, ground delay programs (GDP), departure/arrival delays, and various other information. The navigation pane on the left also contains AAR tables for all major airports with traffic management tips (TM Tips, shown in the bottom left of each airport) if available. Cap/Tunnel plans (if they exist for a facility) are available towards the bottom of the navigation pane and explain how facilities segregate traffic flows using altitude during periods of heavy volume or weather. | |
| Playbook | FAA | Playbook routes | This webpage is the current version of the "FAA Playbook", a collection of pre-coordinated routes that can be used for various scenarios including severe weather, military activity, or volume. | The Playbook is a fundamental resource for traffic management. It is usually updated every other AIRAC cycle. |
| RVR Status Monitor | FAA | Runway visual range (RVR) values at major airports | This real-time RVR values for select major airports across the U.S. | |
| RVR Custom View | FAA | RVR at specific major airports for specific runway(s) | The custom view version of the RVR Status Monitor shows actual RVR values for a selected airport and runway in either chart or table format. | |
| Route Management Tool (RMT) | FAA | Links to the CDR and Preferred Routes Databases | The RMT is the main page for operational databases of coded departure routes (CDR) and preferred routes. | |
| Coded departure routes (CDR) Database | FAA | Coded departure routes (CDR) | CDRs are pre-coordinated routes that are used when normal routes for departing aircraft are impacted. Use of CDR often requires coordination with facilities through which the routes traverse but all facilities should be familiar with the route or route structure. To reduce the workload required in reading full route clearances to pilots, CDRs are given standardized names consisting of AAABBBXX where AAA is the origin airport, BBB is the destination airport, and XX is an alphanumeric code that is unique to that particular route. | If a pilot is CDR capable (can accept CDR), the amended route clearance can be shortened as described in the Traffic Management Unit SOP. |
| Preferred Routes Database(PRD) | FAA | Preferred IFR routes | The FAA PRD is essentially the same as the New York ARTCC PRD (the FAA version is downloaded, cleaned up, and uploaded to the New York ARTCC website where it becomes the source of the New York ARTCC PRD). It provides pre-coordinated routes that efficiently deliver aircraft from/to/within New York ARTCC and other VATUSA/VATCAN facilities. | If a preferred route cannot be find for a specific route pair, try searching for routes from neighboring airports that may be larger (e.g., if there is not a route from TEB to ADW, attempt to find a route from EWR to DCA or BWI. Then, amend and coordinate as necessary to fit the actual route [TEB to ADW]). |
| Traffic Flow Management (TFM) Learning Site | FAA | TFM training materials | This webpage is one of a few resources on which TFM training documents are available. | |
| Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) Website | FAA | CDM training and development documents | CDM is an FAA initiative aimed at promoting decision-making through the use of active collaboration between FAA facilities (ATCSCC, centers, TRACONs, etc.), airlines (often referred to as "stakeholders"), general aviation, other air navigation service providers (ANSP; e.g., NAVCANADA, SMARTMEX, EUROControl), and numerous other participants. The resources on this webpage include team-produced documents (e.g., Weather Evaluation Team, WET) whose primary purpose is to support, improve, and develop the CDM process. | Training materials are archived and contain a plethora of in-depth knowledge on the various tools, techniques, and methods at the FAA's disposal for providing traffic management services. |
| National System Strategy Team (NSST) Severe Weather Management Guide | FAA/NSST | Facility (center) specific information on typical traffic flows | This document is (outdated but still useful) a guide for most U.S. facilities and Toronto (CZY) on typical traffic management conditions including an overview of the departure, arrival, and overflight flows, common impacts to those flows and possible mitigations, typical TMU staffing, and graphical depictions of the facility's general traffic flow. | |
| Instrument Flight Procedures (IFP) Information Gateway | FAA | Instrument flight procedures (IFP) | This webpage provides access to specific facilities' current charts as well as documents relevant to coordinating upcoming chart changes (e.g., new procedures, amendments). | |
| Electronic NASR Browser | FAA | NASR datasets | This browser provides current, next, and Prechart information on specific NAS elements including STARs, Airways, ARTCCs, and Parachute Jump Areas. | |
| Mosaic ATM Airport Viewer | Mosaic ATM | Real-time ASDE-X | This webpage shows ASDE-X data for most major U.S. airports. | |
| ADS-B Exchange | ADS-B Exchange | Real-time ADS-B data | This webpage shows unfiltered ADS-B (and some other flight data sources) data (e.g., military, civilian, general aviation). |
