Post-implementation feedback and design review was scheduled with ZAU, ZID, and ZOB the week of Nov. 26 in Chicago. Industry post implementation feedback is scheduled for Dec. 4 and 5 in Detroit. We are engaging NAV CANADA at the publications level, to attempt to coordinate expedited timelines for the modified SIDs and STARs. The Metroplex leads have engaged regional resources to begin discussions of the timing of post implementation SID/STAR publications. It appears that the teams will have to move quickly to resolve open issues and modify the designs, if we have any chance of making modifications to published procedures before the end of FY19.
