Coping with Adverse Winter Weather

摘要

Winter weather has the potential to significantly disrupt airport and airline operations yielding flight delays, diversions, and cancellations. The impacts thereof may be felt throughout the National Airspace System (NAS) and notably beyond the duration of a winter weather event, as recovery doesn't occur immediately. Moreover, in some situations hazardous conditions created by freezing rain, slush, snow, drifting snow, or ice may lead to aircraft incidents or accidents.
