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. 1
