Questionnaire that is being performed on the ERAM system will be distributed to the field in the next few weeks. NATCA did approve the survey and recommends participation. · The following is a summary of last week's National User Team Meeting: · ER 119397 Passing 4 th Line to ARTS/STARS: o The task team discussed the draft use case and the desired behavior is to allow passing of 4 th line data between terminal an d enroute. Changes need to be made in both ERAM and terminal automation; a case file will be opened based on the completed use case. The task team is updating the use case and problem statement and they will be discussed again next week. · ER 90370 Visual Notification of Sector Status: o The team discussed and reached consensus on the problem statement. The desired behavior is to create an easily viewable notification for a closed sector. Once all team members concur, the problem statement will b e sent to SLE. At this time a use case will not be created for this ER. · ER 131943 Terminal HERT Coding: o A PRED, currently packaged in EAD500, exists that can provide a solution for this ER. The team has reviewed the PRED language and is in ag reement with it, however changes need to be made to allow for facility adaptation by airport. Language will be added to the PRED and once that is completed it will be brought back to the team for review. If the PRED is acceptable, no problem statement wil l be written. · SIG 1647 Multiple Flight Plans: o The task team continues to work on this issue. A tracking ER, 151895, is open to facilitate analysis of current issues; there are some specific cases of duplicate strips being looked at. The task team is also looking at procedural solutions as well as the referred reject messages that are currently being generated; a terminal notification strip is also being discussed. Once the task team has completed their recommendations they will be discussed b y the full team. · ER 136109 Unable Handoff Back to Approach: o The draft problem statement was discussed by the task team. The desired behavior is to allow a handoff back to an approach control for flights that were recently handed to the center from that approach. The problem statement was sent to the team for review and will be discussed again next week. · ER 149703 Logic Check Override for non - US: o A draft problem statement was discussed; this was written to add a facility adaptation check to behavior changed by ER 112983. Changes from ER 112983 require a logic check override to be used when making amendments to flight plans of an uncontrolled aircraft. The problem statement was sent to the team for review and will be discussed again next week.
