When the changes are finalized they will be reviewed wit h the team and distributed nationally accompanying a chart date. § SIG 1644/ER 132227 Speed Override: · SIG 1644, Speed Override, is currently being engineered. The new function creates a way to force the display of an aircrafts speed. There are several formats for displaying speed and engineering needed the team to decide what should be shown. The team decided that when the function was enabled no other data but the aircraft speed should be displayed. This decision was communicated back to SLE. § ER 134179/SIG 1674 CRR Auto Add: · SIG 1674, CRR Auto Add is currently in engineering; the SIG provides a method to automatically add specified flights to the CRR view. The CHI team provided an additional template function as well as two additional selection criteria. The team decided to include the additional selec tion criteria but not the template function. The use case will be updated to include the new criteria and the team's decision will be coordinated with SLE. § SIG 1634 Conflict Probe Improvements: · FAA SLE is analyzing the d ata documented under ER 142969. All appropriate examples will be forwarded to the Separation Management team and SLE will provide updates to the team as appropriate. § SIG 1527 MSAW Suppression: · This change to MSAW suppression was delivered in the EAC1500 system however it has been little used operationally. ZDV is currently testing its capability; the SIG allows sites to fine tune MSAW suppression using user - adaptable, airpor t - specific arrival/departure EMSAW suppression polygons. ZDV will update the team with any relevant information they discover. § En - Route Wake Turbulence: · The team discussed several mitigation concepts and forwarded them to the Wake Turbulence group for consideration. The team's recommendations require aircraft to always check - on a frequency stating "heavy" if applicable, investigate the feasibility of engineering ER 56733 into the system. The ERs desired behavior is to add an "H" prior to the Type displayed in the FDB. · Finally, review ER 151085 to ensure the problem described is understood and is not causing
