Description
Oceanic Control Centers (OCCs) lack real-time weather updates for oceanic airspace. While some modern ATM systems can integrate weather data, they still fall short of providing en route real-time updates, limiting proactive measures like creating temporary ATC sectors or increasing CPDLC staffing or other ATM strategies (like, for example, the temporary withdrawal of RHS ) to mitigate adverse weather-related risks.
Primary Challenges:
Limitations in ATM Automation:
Reliance on Procedural Separation: Oceanic ATC relies on procedural longitudinal separation minima for non-equipped traffic and RNP-based separation for equipped traffic.
Lack of Real-Time Weather Integration: Despite enhancements in situational awareness through ATM automation, current systems cannot display detailed real-time weather information.
Impact on Decision-Making: This limitation restricts effective decision-making, particularly in managing en route weather deviations, posing significant challenges in high-density oceanic ATC sectors.
