Whether you're a Pilot, Flight Dispatcher, Traveler, or enthusiast, disruption in the national airspace system can cause impacts in many different ways. Powered by public FAA SWIM data, ATC Status provides you visibility into Time Based Flow Management (TBFM), Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM), and TFMS Restrictions from the NTML (National Traffic Management Log) in addition to the FAA Operational Information System (OIS). ATC Status fuzes all available sources of current and predicted disruptions to Air Traffic Control Disruptions.
