16. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)

    i.  Time of Daily Pushes (i.e., aviation "rush hour") --

> **see Internet Reference number one**

ii. Significant Weather

    a.  Thunderstorms are problematic within 17 NM of the airport

    b.  Visibility aloft of 10 miles is the cutoff for visual
        approaches. Runway visual ranges of 2400 feet are ILS minimums
        for southwest and west arrivals.

> RVR for category one ILS northeast arrivals are 1800 feet, 1200 feet
> for category II ILS approaches and 700 feet for category IIIA and 600
> feet for category IIIB.

c.  Ceilings of five thousand feet are the cutoff for visual approaches.
    200 foot ceilings are the cutoff for category one ILS arrivals, and
    100 feet for category II ILS approaches.

d.  Weather: snow, ice pellets, and freezing precipitation impact
    operations.

e.  Other: Winds from 280 degrees to 320 degrees with speeds of 20 knots
    or more can shift operations to runways 27 Left and 27 Right for
    small aircraft up to regional jet-sized aircraft. With the same
    direction and speeds of 25 knots, surface winds may require all
    aircraft to shift operations to runways 27 Left and 27 Right . An
    agreement with surrounding communities limits use of these runways
    to no more than five percent of hours of any given year. Shifting to
    the west operation drops arrival rates down to about half of normal.
    This also has negative impact on Willow Run Airport (YIP) as the
    departures off of these runways at DTW are so close that they force
    YIP to change their arrivals to ILS runway 5 Right, which is not
    likely to be a favorable direction for them. Also, if strong
    east-southeast winds develop during a period of IFR conditions,
    runways 9 Left and 9 Right have no straight-in IFR approaches of any
    type.

17. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE)

    i.  **Time of Pushes: see Internet Reference number one**

    ii. Significant Weather

        a.  Thunderstorms within 10 miles of airport are problematic.

        b.  Visibility cut-off of three miles exists for LDA approaches.
            Category I ILS approaches to runways 6 Left, 6 Right, and 24
            Right have minimum Runway Visual Range at 1800 feet while
            runway 28 requires 2400 feet and for runway 24 Left with
            special aircrew and aircraft certification; otherwise runway
            24 Left needs a 3200 foot RVR (a very strange value).
            Category II ILS approaches for runways 6 Left, 6 Right, and
            24 Right require 1200 foot RVR, and Category IIIA approaches
            to those runways require 700 foot RVR and Category IIIB ILS
            approaches need 600 foot RVR.

> Ceilings: A 927 foot ceiling is required for LDA approaches to runways
> 6 Right and 24 Left. The decision height (DH) for the ILS runway 24
> Left

c.  approach is a non-standard 260 feet and runway 28 DH is also
    non-standard at 227 feet. The balance of the ILS Category I
    approaches (runways 24 Right,

> 6 Left, and 6 Right) use a 200 foot DH and the category II approaches
> have a 100 foot DH.

d.  Weather: Snow is a frequent problem during the winter along with
    some ice pellets and freezing precipitation.

e.  Other: Winds from 280 to 320 degrees at 20 to 25 knots may force
    operations to runway 28, reducing the arrival rate to about half of
    normal. Given the opportunity -- generally with winds from north
    through east southeast or calm air, the preferred operational setup
    is for aircraft to use ILS approaches to runway 6 Left while
    conducting visual approaches to runway 10 for smaller to mid-sized
    aircraft. The preferred takeoff runway is 6 Right, but simultaneous
    visual approaches may be used to runway 6 Right when runway 10 is
    not available and when Marginal VFR ceilings preclude visual
    approaches, a Localizer-type directional aid (LDA) approach is
    available to runway 6 Right (see visibility and ceiling sections for
    restrictions associated with this approach). This allows
    simultaneous arrivals with ILS runway 6 Left.

f.  Lake breeze boundaries can cause runway-in-use changes, but also can
    be a focus mechanism for convective development.

18. Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT)

    i.  Significant Weather

        a.  Thunderstorms within 10 miles of the airport or the arrival
            fixes can cause difficulties, but traffic counts are lower
            here than at CLE and much less than those at DTW.

        b.  Visibility: Converging ILS approaches to runway 32 require 3
            miles visibility. Runway 28 Right converging ILS approaches
            need 2 ½ mile visibilities. Runway 32 ILS approaches need ¾
            mile visibilities. Runway visual range (RVR) requirements
            for ILS Category I approaches to runway 10 Left, 10 Right,
            28 Left, and 28 Right are 1800 feet. RVR for Category II ILS
            approaches to runways 10 Left and 10 Right require 1200 foot
            RVR, Category IIIA approaches need 700 foot RVR, and
            Category IIIB ILS approaches need 600 foot RVR. Lowered
            visibilities can force runway in use changes (i.e.,
            simultaneous approaches to runways 28 Left and 28 Right
            instead of 28R and 32).

        c.  Ceilings: Converging ILS approaches to runways 28 Right and
            32 need decision heights (DH) of 821 feet. Category I ILS
            approaches to runways 10 Left, 10 Right, 28 Left, 28 Right,
            and 32 require 200 foot decision heights. Category II ILS
            approaches to runways 10 Left and 10 Right need 100 foot
            DHs.

        d.  Weather: Snow, freezing precipitation, and ice pellets can
            interfere with operations. Snow, rain, or fog often results
            in the use of parallel approaches -- replacing converging
            runway approaches.

        e.  Other: Winds of 20 knots or greater can reduce capacity,
            especially from the south, but also from the north.
            Compression is noticeable during several annual occurrences.

## FAA Playbook Operations and CCFP

19. Support to Strategic Plan of Operations Telcon

    i.  Participants: STMCs at ARTCCs nationwide, airlines, and ATCSCC
        personnel participate in the teleconferences.

    ii. Telcon Schedule every other hour (odd eastern local time) at
        H+15 during day and evening shifts.

    iii. Weather Requirements -- briefing on CCFP chats, for 0915 and
         1115 local time Telcons, provide eight-hour thunderstorm
         forecasts.

20. Weather Impacts to Internal Airports

    i.  Thunderstorms at field or in vicinity of final

> approach course can cause ground stops
>
> and holding.

ii. Low-level wind shear and gusty crosswinds can reduce capacity due to
    go-arounds, especially short single crosswind runway airports.

iii. Contamination of runways by snow -- falling or blowing/drifting and
     ice may require vast decreases in AAR.

iv. Icing aloft of moderate or greater intensity may restrict altitude
    structure for holding.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
21. Weather Impacts to Outer-Tier Airports

    i.  Moderate winds may cause major delay programs especially for BOS
        (northwest/southeast is especially bad), LGA, EWR (west
        northwest is typically worst), PHL (north/south is bad), IAD
        (east is bad and west is even worse), and ORD.

    ii. Thunderstorms, IFR, snow, and ice can vastly decrease AAR at any
        hub. Visual approach arrival rates can be impacted with MVFR or
        better conditions at LGA, PHL, BWI, and DCA. See Internet
        reference one for the listed airports for details.

22. Airway Closers

    i.  Thunderstorms with tops FL240-270 can have impact for some
        aircraft especially those transitioning through the boundaries
        with New York and Washington ARTCC airspace, but when tops are
        at or above FL 390, about 90 percent or more of the traffic is
        rendered unable to use that route.

    ii. Severe to Extreme turbulence and moderate or greater icing may
        cause route to be shut.

23. East to West Transcon Routes (Typical)

    i.  Flights departing JFK or EWR for SFO: J95 BUF J16 ECK J38...

    ii. Flights departing JFK for LAX: J230 AIR J80

    iii. Flights departing EWR for LAX use J80

    iv. PHL to SFO flights use J64

    v.  BOS to LAX flights use routing from SYR J547 BUF J16...

    vi. BOS to SFO flights use routing from SYR J547 BUF J94 ECK J38...

    vii. Flights westbound out of DC Metro area generally stay south of
         ZOB airspace along J6.

24. West to East Transcon Routes

    i.  Flights from LAX to BOS and SFO to BOS follow J16

    ii. Flights from LAX, SFO, or SEA to JFK follow J584 CRL J554 JHW
        J70

    iii. Flights from LAX to EWR take J554 CRL J584 SLT...

    iv. Flights from OAK to EWR take J584

    v.  Flight eastbound to IAD can file via DJB (in ZOB airspace) or
        via APE (in ZID airspace)
