Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC)

Description

Unveiled in March, the official site of the Federal Aviation Administration's ATCSCC offers a number of resources of interest to air travellers and the just plain curious. The ATCSCC is tasked with managing the flow of air traffic within the continental United States (up to 50,000 aircraft operations per day), particularly when weather, equipment, runway closures, or other conditions require some modification of air traffic to minimize delays and congestion. Of most interest to travellers and those meeting them is the Real-time Airport Status page, which allows users to select airports via a map or pull-down menu to find real-time information on delays by destination and general departure and arrival delays. Included with this information is a link to a Glossary of Air Traffic Management Terms. Other continually updated resources include a database of ATCSCC and Canadian advisories; an airport arrival demand chart; up to the minute notices of ground delays, ground stops, deicing, and other delays; and the Collaborative Convective Forecast Product (CCFP), a weather report jointly produced by the Aviation Weather Center (AWC) in Kansas City and participating meteorologists from the airlines and Center Weather Service Unit (CWSU). Undoubtedly, this site will now serve as the central point for online flight delay and air traffic information for the US.
