Aviation Weather & Airspace Operations Analysis

AvMet collects and archives vast amounts of weather/forecast, air traffic, and air traffic management advisory data on a daily basis. Leveraging our in-house weather-to-impact translation techniques and software, we import operationally-relevant data into our fast-time simulation tools to explore potential “what-if” scenarios. This helps identify opportunities, best practices, and lessons learned when managing weather constraints on air traffic, which in turn leads to more efficient operations. We accomplish this through AvMet’s expert awareness and accountability for: 

  • How various weather phenomena cause specific impacts on traffic
  • What are the costs of these impacts (and why they may vary)
  • What portion of these costs may be avoidable
  • What benefits can be expected from new or improved weather forecast products and air traffic management systems
  • How to identify best practices in operational decision making

AvMet Tools and Solutions:

Dynamic ATM Research Technology (DART)

If you need answers on how your fleet will perform on any given weather day, DART can simulate any scenario for any given weather scenario of operating in the NAS. DART can process a highly complex day-in-the-NAS scenario with 50,000 flights, major airports, their runways, weather-dependent runway relationships, departure/arrival procedures, hundreds of sectors, weather, reroutes, aircraft sequencing, spacing, delays, cancellations, and a multitude of Traffic Management Initiatives (TMIs) in two minutes on a standard PC.

Similar Weather Analysis Tool (SWAT)

Compare a weather forecast and learn what impact a similar weather day had; SWAT identifies similar convective and non-convective weather events going back 30 years and provides resulting operational impacts in the NAS. 

Weather Impact Scoring

Supporting both pre- and post-operations analysis where we score the impact of weather on airports and airspace against the historical baseline.
