each ARTCC that cover all VOR MON impacts anticipated through PHASE I of VOR MON (FY2021). PBN East Update This past month, we worked on NEC ACR, BOS Massport Block 1 and finished work on TDG VOR MON. We have been in constant communication with ZDC, ZBW, ZNY, and the ATSCC on the NEC ACR work. A Pref Route workgroup meeting is scheduled for December 2018 along with ISIMs for ZDC. We will also be helping FL Metroplex next week, being at ZDC and ZJX for their Nov. 8 Q and Y route implementation. The Boston Block 1 procedures have been evaluated by BOS, A90, and ZBW. We briefed the results to Massport, MIT and the Regional Administrators office. The Boston CAC (Community Advisory Committee) was also briefed on Oct. 18. Not a lot of surprises came from the CAC briefing, but they are upset that we can't modify the RWY 22L transitions. However, they seem satisfied with the work on the RWY 15R departure transition and RWY 33L RNP. We are still waiting to see if we move forward with this work. The BOS Block 2 recommendations were also briefed to the BOS CAC by MIT, although the FAA still has not officially received these recommendations. The work done to mitigate the removal of TDG VOR is wrapping up in order to make the August 2019 publication date. We have one final internal review next week before submitting the routes for publication. T-Routes were created that overly current Victor Routes and incorporate the future decommissioning of TDG, LDK, HAB, HLI, VUZ, and EWA. PBN/Metroplex Design and Implementation Update Florida Metroplex re-design work has begun on the Florida Metroplex SIDs and STARs. The current Florida Metroplex re-scoping will incorporate Q and Y routes from ZJX, ZSU, and ZMA. The Florida Metroplex team will work to connect the Q routes to the existing SIDs and STARs for a Nov. 8 implementation. The team will then reconnect the future Metroplex SIDs and STARs to the Q routes at a later date. The northern Q routes (ZDC and north) have been incorporated into the NEC initiative through the JO 7100.41 PBN process with a dedicated set of Co-Leads from the Eastern Service Center OSG PBN team. Detroit/Cleveland Metroplex implemented SIDs and STARs on Sept. 13. The procedures are working very well and getting great reviews from Delta Air Lines. The Denver Metroplex team continues their community involvement and engagement activities with March 2020 currently targeted for the implementation of the procedures. The Las Vegas Metroplex is now moving forward with the project as originally scoped with design work being mostly complete while also continuing to work on community involvement activities. The Las Vegas Metroplex team successfully completed the scrub of their HITL scenarios and will begin full HITL activities the week of Nov. 13. The Metroplex leads meeting scheduled to take place in Cleveland on Aug. 6-10, was cancelled and the rescheduling of future meetings are TBD.
