  12. Weather Reduce Weather Impact

  13. Airport Modeling Shortfalls • Simplistic airport capacity • Single airport configuration • Convection weather • Airport closure • Departure release • Surface congestion • Taxiways • Gates • De-icing • Tail number tracking • Delay propagation • Passenger tracking • Connections Coupled

  14. Terminal Modeling Shortfalls • Simplistic terminal airspace • Airport coupling • Terminal capacity • Aircraft trajectories • Route of flight • STARs • DPs • Convection weather • Re-routing/arrival gate closure

  15. En Route Modeling Shortfalls • Static sector capacity • Monitor Alert Parameter (MAP) • Static sector definition • Response to sector overload • Re-routing • Metering • Time-based metering • Miles-In-Trail (MIT) • Convective weather • Dynamic sector capacity • Tactical re-routes • Continuous Descent Approaches (CDAs)/Tailored Arrivals

  16. Oceanic Modeling Shortfalls • Oceanic airspace!

  17. Flow Control Modeling Shortfalls • Ground stops/ground delays • Airport constraints (GDPs) • Airspace constraints (AFPs) • Strategic re-routes • Severe Weather Avoidance Program (SWAP) • Canadian Off-load

  18. AOC Modeling Shortfalls • Cancellations • Ground Delay Program (GDP) response • Re-routes

  19. Model Use Shortfalls • Ease of Set-up • Monte Carlo replication • Demand • Flight schedules • OD pairs • Equipment • Aircraft performance • Routings • Capacities/airport configurations • TFM • etc. • Visualization • Validation
