· DEN RNP AR – Their cumulative count of running these parallel app roach es is 23,125. They expect the count to rise faster as a runway will reopen and they are using CRDA (Ghost) on more runways. Data shows that the conformance is within the .10NM tolerances of the procedures intent. · GBAS - This is about conveying FAA plans and assumptions for the GBAS cost benefit analysis in response to the PARC recommendations and solicit industry feedback to refine FAA plan, which does not inclu de funding of this technology. The FAA prefers to stay with the WAAS network that is in p lace but most airlines are not equipped for this. The PARC recommended the implementation waterfall of 2 - 3 GBAS sites per year through 2025. They will provide FAA cost benefit analysis to inform potential GBAS acquisition and respond to PARC report. There will be an independent assessment of GBAS benefit, develop cost model and use the results to inform an FAA decision on whether to initiate AMS process for GBAS system, or solely focus on suppo rt for non - federal acquisition. This includes benefits assessmen t methodology, benefit mechanisms and modeling assumptions. · NSPP – Upcoming 10/15/2015 RNAV Publications – o Metroplexes: HOU 1 SID, NorCal 5 STARs, 1 RNP, ATL 1 SID, DC 9 SIDs, 5 STARs. o Single Sites: JFK 1 SID, 1 STAR, MDW 1 STAR, ORD 9 STAR s, 1 SID and 1 RNP, MSY 3 RNPs, AUS 2 RNPs, ELP 1 STAR, ANC 2 STARs, 2 SIDs and 2 RNPs, HDN 1 RNP, TCM 1 SIDs, 2 STARs, SEA 1 STAR, 4 SIDs and 4 RNP, PBI, 6 SIDS and MIA 1 RNP. · Metroplex Procedures: o HOU changed to 17 RNAV SIDs, 11 Conv SIDs for 12/10/15 publication cycle. o North Texas 19RNAV SIDs for 2/4/16 publication cycle, 9 RNAV SIDs and 21 RNAV STARs for the 3/31/16 publication cycle. o ATL/CLT has 179 procedures scheduled from 2/4/1016 to 2/1/18 publication cycles. · SIDs/STARs/ RNP: PIT 1 RNP will slip to 12/10/15 publication cycle. · PBN Dashboard – Still trying to figure out how the dashboard and its data fit into the system. It makes the most sense to get some training on it to determine what needs to be on it and what i s useful. As far as procedure design and implementation go, our PBN service center reps and metroplex people would be the most likely to use this information so they will be part of the evaluation process. o The dashboard for design purposes has 14 metri cs, 7 of which are airport stat type data and the rest are more about usage. · PCPSI – This was a 3 - day meeting in Henderson, NV to discuss various subjects and develo p recommendations for the PARC. o The group reviewed the last 5 recommendations t o the PARC, which include speed notes on charts, top altitude only for climb via clearances, reestablishing the climb via group, runway transition labeling on charts and eliminating ST AR bottom altitude requirement. o New subjects broached: § PDC TDLS v12 rollout and data comm issues some things will not transfer easily. § RNAV holding - All holding is based on conventional NAVAID criteria that ha sn't changed for 60 plus years.
