many projects will suffer. § PBN dashboard is a disaster and agreed to put a team together to be trained on the dashboard, to be briefed on everything in the dashboard and to decide and work with Mitre to make the too more user friendly. § Agr eed to have an OSG Leads meeting to discuss issues, lessons learned, to receive training, receive briefings on program documentation, budget etc. First meeting will be in the Jan - Feb time frame. § Discussed adding FPT NATCA person to the .43 re - write grou p. § Discussed having a "road show" to go out and brief all the service centers on the 7100.41 process and roles and responsibilities. o Submitted by Mark McKelligan (ZBW) National D&I Rep · NATCA National Airspace Rep o Participated on the weekl y Telcon with Jodi McCarthy, Director of Airspace Services o Participated on the weekly OSG Telcon o Participated on the weekly Metroplex Telcon o Participated on the weekly Telcon with John Brandt, Mitre Airspace Lead o Coordinated the next NATCA Airspace and Procedures Committee meeting o Submitted by Jim Davis (PCT) NATCA National Airspace Rep AIRSPACE TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION 2 (ATD - 2): Pete Slattery (CLT) is the Article 48 Representative for NATCA on this NASA driven project. Mr. Slattery's report for this week is below. · Key ATD - 2 stakeholders (NASA, NATCA, FAA, airline, and local CLT ramp personnel) met at NASA ' s North Texas Research facility (NTX) during the week of September 14th to begin the process of identifying what technolog ies are necessary to implement the vision of Surface Metering that ATD - 2 is tasked with addressing. · The group looked at existing systems currently in use, others that are expected to become available in the immediate future, as well as notional ATD - 2 technologies. The group further looked at how these various systems can be utilized to implement the guiding principles of Surface Collaborative Decision Making (S - CDM) in order to achieve effective, relevant ground metering. · Essentially, ATD - 2 wi ll be a system that ingests data from multiple sources, (SWIM, TFMS, TBFM, FDIO, etc . ) processes it through NASA designed algorithms, and then provides data to air traffic controllers, airport ramp personnel, and other stakeholders to aid in better decisio n making. · Much like the arrival meter times that TBFM adds to Center ERAM displays, ATD - 2 will add ground meter times, and other Traffic Management Initiative (TMI) info, to Electronic Flight Data (EFD) displays for Terminal controllers in order to provide ground metering advisories. · The data ATD - 2 produces will also be disseminated to other NAS stakeholders in a manner that will inform everyone on how greater efficiency can be achieved.
