New Business: Ron Renk (United) noted that they have been doing some notional work on GBAS procedures at KSFO that in some sense emulated the RPAT idea to the LDA final on 28R. He asked if the WG would consider reviewing the ideas and contributing to them as they move forward. The WG members were receptive and Mike C asked that Ron prepare a more formal briefing in the near future so the work could be added to our inbox with SG approval. PBN NIWG Participated in several PARC NIWG PBN Team Meetings. TACTICAL ACTI ON NOTIFICATION RESPONSE (TANR) Shannon Jenkins (ZME) is the Article 114 Representative for Tactical Action Notification Response (TANR). H is report to the membership is below : July 23 - 26: participated in 2018 Cros stell in Portland, Ore. Discussed several aspects of TANR with fighter pilots, Secret Service members, Border Patrol members, Civil Air Patrol, NORAD and several other military members to include some with the Western Air Defense Sector. During Crosstell exercise I was given the opportunity to have a familiarization flight in an F - 16. This flight allowed for me to gain a true "pilots perspective " of TANR. The pilot I was with noted the positive aspects of TANR throughout the flight as well as before and after the flight. During the familiarization flight, 3 simulated aircraft intercepts were accomplished. TANR w as utilized throughout. I w as able to converse with multiple fighter pilots throughout the three - day exercise and they were all in agreement that when TANR is utilized, their "helmet fire" is greatly reduced and that the overall TANR process is very beneficial to them, ATC, and the Air Defense Sectors.
