Abstract

This presentation discusses the role of the Federal Aviation Administration's Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC) in meeting the severe weather challenges that can and do disrupt the normal and organized movement of air traffic and that do significantly increase the workload at impacted facilities. The ATCSCC has established the strategic planning and severe weather management teams, composed of specialists who implement procedures designed to optimize the use of available airspace during severe weather. The ATCSCC has also developed use of the Internet.
