• CLE: Training on the 5.4 build will begin Monday, Jan. 14 and continue through Friday Jan. 25. Installation/testing will begin the night of Monday, Jan. 28 and continue through Thursday, Jan. 31. • LAS: Nothing new • SFO: Nothing new • EWR: Nothing new SWIM Visualization Tool (SVT) Work continues to be done to lock down the IP addresses S46, ZHU, IAH, and HOU will use for their SVT monitors. At S46, an issue has come up with trying to procure the screens they will use and where they will be able to actually position the monitors to best help with their operation. Once the IP addresses are submitted and the screens are found, we will continue the process of getting the sites ready to use SVT. TIME BASED FLOW MANAGEMENT/TERMINAL SEQUENCING AND SPACING (TBFM/TSAS) Matt Gammon (ZID) is the Article 114 Representative for TBFM/TSAS. His report is below: ZFW NATCA TMU Rep Jimmy Clouse reported about the DFW TBFM Extended Metering Project. ZFW has been working on extended metering to DFW since October 2017 and has been discussing extended metering before then. During that time, ZFW TMU NATCA Rep, ZFW TMO, and TBFM SMEs have worked with ZFW FAST, ZFW Area Leadership Teams, Second Level Engineering, CAVAN, and the National Ops Team to design a system that will allow First Tiers (ZHU/ZKC/ZAB/ZME) to meter to DFW. The ZFW TMU Leadership had a goal of completing this project in the first quarter of 2018, before runway construction at DFW, but finding a time that met our First Tiers, FAST, National Ops team, and everyone involved with the design, was difficult. ZFW appreciates the hard work, professionalism, and dedication from ZHU, ZKC, ZAB, ZME, and everyone involved as times and deadlines were pushed back multiple times. The success of extended metering relied heavily on collaboration and teamwork. The latest timeline from ZFW TMU's TBFM SME, Kenny West: • Week of 10/8: ZFW workforce briefed and the makeup briefing is being put on CEDAR. • Week of 10/15: Asbestos abatement in the TBFM lab. No work scheduled. • Week of 10/22: Cavan will be in the building 10/23-10/25 to work with ZKC on the extended system on the operational system. ZFW controllers can put the times on the glass and get used to looking at them. Individual briefings with TMCs will be continued. • Week of 10/29: Cavan will be in the building 10/30-11/1 working with ZHU, ZAB and ZME on the extended system of the operational system. ZFW controllers can put the times on the glass and get used to looking at them. Individual briefings with TMCs will be continued. • Week of 11/5: Load the extended system and use for metering. We will have Cavan support in the building to work on issues that arise.
