2 TAF & Wind Impact on ATM KXYZ 010927Z 0109/0206 24005KT 3/4SM -RADZ OVC004 FM011400 30018G30KT P6SM BKN020 FM020200 32010KT P6SM VCSH OVC050 PROB30 TS KXYZ = Hub Airport Wind: 24005KT, 30018G30KT, 32010KT Plan: Runway(s) to be used. Known: Approx Airport Capacity (arrival/departure rate) Known: Volume of Flights Scheduled Important Factors: Wx -Wind Values & Direction Shift Timing, Impact calculations - Crosswinds, etc. Missing: Winds Above the Surface. Compression Issues.

3 TAF & Cig/Vis Impact on ATM KXYZ 010927Z 0109/0206 24005KT 3/4SM -RADZ OVC004 FM011400 30018G30KT P6SM BKN020 FM020200 32010KT P6SM VCSH OVC050 PROB30 TS Vis & Ceilings: 3/4SM, P6SM & OVC004, BKN020, OVC050 Plan: Visual or Instrument Approaches Known: Airport Capabilities/Limitations Known: Operator Capabilities/Limitations Important Factors: Timing & Values, Estimated Impact Missing: RVR, but can be inferred

4 TAF & Present Wx Impact on ATM KXYZ 010927Z 0109/0206 24005KT 3/4SM -RADZ OVC004 FM011400 30018G30KT P6SM BKN020 FM020200 32010KT P6SM VCSH OVC050 PROB30 TS Present Weather: -RADZ, VCSH, TS Plan: Convection at/near airport, Winter Precip at airport Known: Approximate impact on air traffic Known: Approximate Operator capability Important Factors: Timing - Tstrms & Winter Precip Tstrms in vicinity (VC = 5 to 10nm), Winter Precip - Intensity Missing: Tstrm - Beyond 10 nm & Coverage/Location

5 Conclusion TAF is not the only source of Forecast info Future Focus for TAF or Other Products –All Variables: More detailed timing. –Tstrms & Winds: TRACON area
