§ ER 183277: Created folders in MRP List for each airport that has meter point arcs. The ER was reviewed, and the task team will discuss whether or not a problem statement is needed. § ER 191569, Route Disappears from ACL: A PR that corrects this issue is packaged in EAE300. § ER 194653: Pending Font and Brightness have no effect. A task team was formed, and they will write a problem statement. • DataComm: The DataComm team briefed on several issues including the content of the EAE130 release, Ghost Pilots for DataComm training, system changes related to ER 190772 (Inconsistent Use of Terms), latency issues, status of Failure Mode enhancements, frequency management and local procedures. Also discussed was the draft use case for DataComm Speeds. This use case will be discussed again in the coming weeks. ENTERPRISE-INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM (E-IDS) Amanda Richardson (ZOA) is the Article 114 Representative for Enterprise-Information Display System (E-IDS) work. Her report is below: The Enterprise Information Display System (E-IDS) project aims to replace all existing IDSs in the NAS, providing the Agency with one enterprise solution across all facility types. While some customization is necessary and should be available, one system will reduce overall costs for upkeep and training and resolve the upcoming end-of-life issues we have with our current IDSs in the field (IDS-4, ERIDS, etc.). Current domains without an IDS will also be addressed (Oceanic, FSS, etc.) The project is working towards finalizing requirements by the end of this year, with a contract scheduled to be awarded in 2020. An initial Safety Workgroup was conducted to review the E-IDS program as a whole and identified and discussed some preliminary risks/hazards. The goal of the Workgroup is to identify any hazards early on to ensure that all possible solutions are reviewed including, but not limited to, additional engineering requirements. This work will continue early next year, with another follow-up in the spring. The NATCA E-IDS National Workgroup participants were fully briefed during the all-day onboarding session Oct. 4. The Human Factors and Integrated Test Team work began Oct. 18, and continue every two weeks for a year, to be extended if necessary. The Workgroup scoping document also allows for sub workgroups and additional SMEs, as needed. Any additional needs that are identified during this work will be addressed in accordance with the scoping document. Upcoming activities: • SRM Workgroup meetings (dates in DC TBD) • Article 114 Rep meetings and training, CFS 2018 (Oct 22-24) • Weekly/bi-weekly program status and engineering telcons (ongoing)
