Gives Users Valuable Information to Make Flight Planning More
Manageable, Efficient
NBAA has announced the release of
the NBAA National Airspace System Status Briefing (NASSB), a
user-friendly, web-based product that provides valuable, real-time
information for anyone involved in flight operations.
The NASSB, which is available to all Members for a subscription
fee, was developed by the NBAA GA Desk at the FAA Air Traffic
Control System Command Center. The product gives Members an instant
snapshot of domestic ATC traffic management initiatives and
restrictions, providing Members the ability to quickly generate
bulletins that can assist in making operations in the national
airspace more manageable and efficient.
Feedback from NBAA Members and fixed based operators (FBOs) who
tested the NASSB prototype over the past year has been
overwhelmingly supportive. Users report that the NASSB is an
excellent way to assist FBOs and flight department personnel with
general ATC and delay information.
The National Airspace System Status Briefing provides up-to-date
information about:
- Ground delay programs
- Ground stops
- Arrival and departure delays
- Enroute constraints
- Reroutes presently in effect
- Departure restrictions (for your specific departure
center)
- Collaborative convective forecast product (two separate
forecasts, four hours apart)
After completing the initial subscription and registration
process, Members select an ATC departure point from the ATC Center
overlay screen (e.g., ZHU – Houston Center). The query then
produces a center-specific National Airspace System Status Briefing
containing the information detailed in the above list.
Each bulletin can be posted in a visible area, such as a crew
lounge or flight plan area. An update feature allows users to
refresh a bulletin each time it is selected.
The first two months are available for an introductory price of
$40 per month.
