where the t ower has to change a flight plan at the runway and issue headings. This was industries number one complaint for the SIDs and also a major concern for DEN Tower. The tower has documented many errant engagements from aircraft that have been issued this new clearance at the runway and inadvertently engaged their LNAV which cause a deviation. o In order to eliminate those issues the team decided to build a Radar Vector model for the East and West SIDs. This will provide a SID for industry that shouldn't re quire changes at the runway. o They will have to address the same issues on the North and South SIDs, however, a Radar Vector model may not be the best solution because we need to build a procedure that separates from TRACON arrival airspace around their downwinds. The team will address these issues the next time the Design Team meets. o The Design Team also had the opportunity to split the ZDV reps out this week and begin work on the Design Packages. o Upcoming Schedule § October 27 - 29 – Core Tea m Meeting in Seattle with Service Center § November 2 - 5 – Metroplex Leads Meeting in Los Angeles, CA. o Submitted by Chris Thomas Article 48 Co - Lead Denver D&I · Charlotte Metroplex o Leads at CLT TRACON o 10/15/15 implementation – continued to go smoothly with minor problems. Many of these were bad routes and automation glitches that were fixed quickly. The TRACON made some adjustments to how departures are delivered on a south operation o The leads met with TRACON team to discuss lessons learned o Telcon with ZTL and ZID for lessons learned o Organized PARQR/FILPZ re - design meeting for the week of Nov 16. Invitations have been sent o Provided environmental information for leadership o Prioritized feedback and working these issues o Worked on metrics o Monday the parties will discuss the arrival rate. The plan is to raise it Monday and then again Thursday to the original 92. This will be based on several factors and be made collaboratively . o Thank you to the NATCA POCs at CLT ( Jim Williams ), ZID ( Chris Wampler ), ZTL ( Eddy Tucker ) have done a great job of managi ng the implementation. The work force at these facilities have been working hard to make the project a success and have helped to identify issues and corrections when needed . o Issues: § SWA has raised concerns about the PARQR and FILPZ STARs.
