NORTHEAST SEVERE WEATHER AVOIDANCE PLANNING 2020

Objective:
    -   Proactive Management of the NAS without Over Control
           o Distribute volume then reduce volume prior to route
             closure
           o Anticipate airspace use and coordination –
             TRANSCON, CAN Routes, VACAPEs, etc.
           o GDPs (variable rates) & Structured Routes verse AFPs/GDPs & Structured
             Routes
           o Timely decision making and implementation
           o Triggers driving action
           o Exit Strategies
           o Common Situational Awareness

Build on improvements:
           o Advanced Planning
           o Departure Coordinator(s)
           o ZNY anticipated Route telcon

        Note: It is acknowledged that the impacts of COVID-19 to the aviation
        industry has been significant in 2020 & 2021. Traffic volume has been
        at unprecedentedly low levels and will most likely not fully recover
        this SWAP season. However, even at lower than normal traffic levels,
        these techniques can be utilized to maximize the throughput of the
        New York airports.

                Note: DCC Planner is responsible for initiating discussion with facilities 2 hours prior to
                impacts.

                TMI Planning will include analysis of arrival demand reduction to manage forecast departure
                route impacts and surface congestion potential impacts. Facilities are encouraged to think
                strategically when discussing the arrival demand considering turn times, departure bank
                impacts from convective impacts to departure routes, and potential surface constraint issues.

NORTHEAST SEVERE WEATHER AVOIDANCE PLANNING 2020
 Focus Item –
 LIMBO Route(s)

 Advanced Planning:            DC Metro Towers - PHLYER routes will be identified on the
                               PERTI advance plan

Trigger(s):
      -   Forecasts (TCF, etc.) indicate that convective weather will impact departure gates and
          operational impact can be reduced by removing volume from those affected departure
          routes or by removing DC Metro departures from affected routes in order to allow other
          markets to flow in a more unrestricted manner.

 Responsible Facility:      ZDC / ATCSCC / PCT Process/Considerations/Action:
    - LIMBO routes are used to reduce enroute fix/route volume and distribute to lower Tower
       enroute clearance (TEC) structure
    - Coordination with appropriate terminal facilities
    - LIMBO routes published as recommended /xxZ expect required >xxZ

Focus Item –
Departure Coordinator(s) DCC/ZNY, N90 TMU, Stakeholder

Advanced Planning:          SWAP is identified on the PERTI advanced plan

Trigger(s):                 Anticipated SWAP implementation Responsible

Facility:                   ATCSCC / ZNY

Process/Considerations/Action:
   - Severe Weather Departure Position will be operational approximately 4 hour prior to a
      northeast severe weather event
   - SVR Departure Position is the focal point for departure coordination

NORTHEAST SEVERE WEATHER AVOIDANCE PLANNING 2020
 Focus Item –
 AFPs, Structured Routes, GS, GDP planning
Advanced Planning:    SWAP is identified on the PERTI advanced plan

Trigger(s): - Significant areas of convective weather in ZDC, ZOB, and/or ZNY is forecasted to
heavily impact normal flows through the airspace or cause significant delays to outlying facilities.

Responsible Facility: ATCSCC

Process/Consideration/Action:
    - See AFP Strategy of Use Doc

 26
NORTHEAST SEVERE WEATHER AVOIDANCE PLANNING 2020
 Focus Item –
 Reducing the “Double hit” on NY departures to BOS

 Advanced Planning:

Trigger(s):   Planned BOS GDP (Double hit of TBFM delay & GDP delay for N90 departures to
BOS. Exempt N90 airports from delay in BOS GDP) during a northeast SWAP event where there
will NOT be direct weather impact to BOS airport.

 Responsible Facility:      ATCSCC/ZBW

 Process/Considerations/Action:
    1. ATCSCC Exempt N90(JFK/LGA/EWR) from BOS GDP
       ZBW/N90 Schedule into TBFM
    2. Alternate Route

Focus Item –
Boundary-less Operational Plan (BOP)

Advanced Planning:          NA for PERTI advanced plan

Trigger(s):                 ZDC need to reduce flows from ZNY

Responsible Facility:       ZDC / ZNY

Process/Considerations/Action:
ZNY (to ZDC) sectors relieved of MIT spacing requirement
TMUs coordinate to provide reduced aircraft flow ie. Provide MIT to TWRs, ZOB, etc.
See attached

28
NORTHEAST SEVERE WEATHER AVOIDANCE PLANNING 2020
Focus Item –
Moving select aircraft/destinations/fixes to improve overall flow

Advanced Planning: Anticipated gate impact and timing will be included the NY Departure
Plan. ZNY CWSU SWAP & ZDC CWSU slide will be included.

WAVEY Shuffle

Trigger(s):                 Volume/Weather dictates a need to segregate LGA and JFK
                            southbound traffic, JFK departure backlog

Responsible Facility:       N90 / ZNY

Process/Considerations/Action:
JFK departure backlog

Reduce WHITE

Trigger(s):                         Anticipated volume on WHITE J209
Responsible Facility:               N90 / ZNY
Process/Considerations/Action:

Reduce RBV
Trigger(s):                         Anticipated (JFK) volume/weather constraint on RBV

Responsible Facility:               N90 / ZNY
Process/Considerations/Action:

     -   When JFK volume/weather constraints are anticipated on RBV

Trigger(s):

Responsible Facility:

Process/Considerations/Action:
Exempt (N90) aircraft capable of FL410 and abv from structured route(s)
