beginning September 23 and running for 6 weeks. · Traveled to the NextGen facility in Daytona Beach Monday and returned Thursday. o Mr. Keith was in Daytona Beach to view the next gen concept for 4D Trajectory Concept. o The concept takes three current programs Interval management, Dynamic RNP, and DataComm. The overall concept is sound. o NextGen is researching the operat ional and technical visibility. Over the next few months more de monstrations will be conducted. NATCA is engaged in all phases and will continue to provide valuable feedback. AIRSPACE: Jim Davis (PCT) is the Na tional Airspace Lead for NATCA. Below are reports from Mr. Davis and the Airspace Team Leads. · DC Metroplex o DC Metroplex team working high priority issue concerning displacement of HOIST waypoint affecting the ANTHM STA R to KBWI. Jeppesen charting has relocated HOIST in the near term that does not take effect until 10/15/15. Metroplex teamed developed internal procedures at PCT that will allow continued use of ANTHM through the provision of radar vectors after ANTHM wayp oint. o DC Metroplex team continuing refinements to ARTS/ERAM regarding automation and route coding (ADRs, ADARs, AARs, CDRs) associated with August 20 implementation . o DC Metroplex team October 15th implementation training in progress, no issues expe cted. o DC Metroplex team currently in evaluation phase of automation and preferred routes associated with December 10th implementation. o DC Metroplex team processing record of Change Control Sheets (CCS) for 5 SIDs from Refinement to Procedures Meeti ng (RPM) involving April/June implementations. o DC Metroplex coordination and discussions continue with Eastern Service Center and Program office concerning appropriate course of action from a programmatic Metroplex Post Implementation strategy and the implementation of refined procedures in identified chart cycles. o DC Metroplex continued coordination with ESC Environmental Specialist and noise modeling for Post Implementation procedures. Issues with AEDT2B software and ability to run model on FAA co mputers resolved. Presently awaiting modeler to run scenarios with preliminary results due 09/17/15. MITRE also running identical scenarios with results to be compared for validity of modeling. o Participated in several teleconferences (Metroplex, ATIS P BN Approach Initiative, Guided Visual Approaches, and Top Altitudes). o Coordinated with AJV - 14 regarding Oklahoma Flight Simulation Runs regarding DCA SIDS. o Submitted a request AeroNav for the creation of a waypoint at the intersection of Q40 and J2 2 to allow ERAM to process flight plan routes correctly and be in compliance with Data Comm. o DC Metroplex coordinated with the PCT Training and Airspace/
