(revised altitude information) Our next meeting for both the PCPSI WG and Phraseology Harmonization SG will be held in Denver, July 9-11. PARC NAV WG - I participated in a telcon on April 3 where the following information was discussed: • Final to missed transition OCS - Tim Lovell (MITRE) reported they have completed a prototype of modules for TARGETS to evaluate the revised RNP AR OCS criteria for RNP AR and RNAV missed approach, and RNP 1 missed approach and an RNP less than one 1 missed approach segment. The analysis of candidate procedures should be completed by the face-to-face meeting in Denver. • Windows on Departure - Mike Cramer (MITRE) noted that MITRE is holding off the report to AJV for now, pending further review of the notes from the February presentation of MITRE findings to the NAV WG in Dallas. • Intermediate Segment Gradient - Gary McMullin (SWA) volunteered to lead a work session in the face-to-face meeting in Denver with the help of Ron Renk (UAL) and Gary Petty (AFS). • AC90-101 Status - Jeff Kerr (AFS) reported that the PARC review of the Advisory Circular (AC) has been completed and the draft is going into internal review with a new layer of review (legal) needed. Mike Cramer (MITRE) asked if they had had enough representation on the review calls to assure that the recommendations from 2008 had been treated in this release, and Jeff felt that there had been the needed review. • RF/TF Concurrent Ops Action Team - Mike Cramer (MITRE) noted that there has been no volunteer as yet to lead the action team since Brain Swain (DAL) had to step down. Cramer will be discussing with the PARC Steering Group the need for someone to lead this group, in which Nick Tallman (AJV-14) advised that maybe some of the other Delta pilots might be able to help. Andrew Riedel reported that a sample database with RF and TF versions of the already designed procedures had been made available to OEMs. So far, Collins has taken the data for some testing of the overlay. The process of producing sample charts has been delayed for a short time but should be available in time to present to the Aeronautical Charting Forum (ACF) being held April 24-25 prior to the Denver NAV WG face-to-face meeting. Gary McMullin (SWA) will be at the ACF and volunteered to present along with Joel Dickinson (AFS) helping provide the background from the NAV WG. Cramer will draft a briefing for them to use. Our next meeting is scheduled for April 30-May 2 in Denver. PBN NIWG - There is nothing new to report at this time. UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (UAS)
