Faa web scheduler
"This initiative is a big step toward solving a long-standing problem for many AOPA members," said Melissa K. The information is updated every six minutes from the FAA's Special Use Airspace Management System. The near-real-time SUA information includes many restricted, warning, and alert areas, military operations areas (MOAs), and some military refueling tracks. The FAA is seeking AOPA member feedback on the usefulness of the data and method of presentation. The service is currently in a 90-day operational live test. It is available in the members-only section of the AOPA Web site. The new service will help AOPA members avoid unnecessary and time-consuming detours around such airspace, which is often reported as active by FAA flight service stations even though no military activity is actually taking place. As a result of a collaborative effort between AOPA and the FAA's Air Traffic Procedures Office (ATP-200), AOPA members now have access to the same data from FAA's Special Use Airspace Management System (SAMS), which is used by the FAA air traffic control command center. Updated scheduling information on military use of restricted areas and other special-use airspace (SUA) is now available on the AOPA Web site.
