  1. Musings about Wx Integration Warren Qualley Harris Corporation October 12, 2011

  2. It has been there for a while! • Flight planning systems • Upper wind and temp forecasts used in calculations for decades • business rules of airline determine whether to use flight plan with fastest time, lowest fuel cost, lowest overall cost, etc. • Turbulence forecasts which dynamically change flight routings (other hazards, icing, tstms, VA could be added)

  3. And lots of work is going on • Government programs- a few examples • GDP prediction based on SFO Marine Stratus project • RAPT (Route Avoidance Planning Tool) • CACR (Collaborative Airspace Congestion Resolution) • Other FAA programs which will have wx info integrated into them (e.g. ERAM)

  4. Questions • How/who can help determine benefits to move forward with weather integration? • What is the plan to ensure that all necessary groups are involved (traffic managers, controllers, pilots, dispatchers, AOC/FOC personnel) • What about human factors, training, regulations, standards, integration of displays at FAA and airline/GA facilities? • How will we answer the question: “Where did you hide my weather graphics?!” • How will business rules of airlines/GA operators and those of the FAA be adjudicated? (Hint: CDM) • Did we talk about the huge culture change this will bring?
