Collaborative decision-making (CDM), the effort instituted by the FAA and the airlines to reroute traffic each day away from anticipated weather trouble spots across the country, is a major topic among NBAA Airspace/Air Traffic Committee members.

“CDM is a program that has been in place for some time,” said David Maib, Airspace/Air Traffic Committee chairman. “Every day there is a conference call between the ATC command center in Virginia to the major airlines and weather personnel to determine which areas of the country may have delays due to weather, and then they proactively reroute traffic away from those trouble spots. Business aviation has not been part of that process, but NBAA is trying to get involved.”
