National Airspace System Status

Posted by TxAggieMike@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 11 comments

The NAS status page is a good resource to have in your browser tabs and bookmarks. It is a real time look into what is happening around the NAS. I have been watching it over the weekend, monitoring the airports that were affected by the weekend’s winter weather. Especially the airports near me in DFW. Sorta fascinating to see the mighty DFW’s arrival rate fall below 100. Currently below 50. Around the region, many runways are still closed. We had a little melt today, but very low temps overnight are going to hard freeze that. Anyhow, I thought you all would appreciate this site point out!

Maybe I'm old, but I like the old website so much more https://www.fly.faa.gov/ois/?legacy=true

It’s always fun when you catch the ground stop for your flight before anyone else does

Better yet catch that it’s lifted!

“Ground, XYZ123, we see the ground stop for ORD is lifted, do you show the same?” “Uh XYZ123, Outstation ground, we don’t see that yet. Stay on the frequency for updates.” 5 minutes later… “XYZ123, it’s your lucky day, ORD is ready for you. Can you be ready to go in 10 minutes?”

Agree… I was reminded about it because of an OB podcast when AG was discussing its value.
