o Draft Recommendation: Re - augment FAA procedure maintenance and development through contract support to increase capacity of this organization o Draft Recommendati on: Continue to invest in automation and technology improvements that have the potential to improve the FAA's productivity in procedure maintenance and development · ASR and PAR procedures o Draft Recommendations for the FAA: o Evaluate existing ASR procedures and propose cancellation for those at a non - joint DoD (civilian) facility. § Note: initial analysis by DoD/ANG suggests about 84 out of 221 ASR procedures may fit this category § Also removes a corresponding circling procedure o Contin ue to engage other parts of government (DoD, CBP, etc.) to regularly evaluate necessity of ASR procedures at joint use facilities o If procedures will be maintained, FAA must maintain training and currency of controllers to offer the procedure o Facili ty that cannot provide ASR/PAR approaches due to training should NOTAM those procedures out of service until such time that staff are trained · NSPP – Metroplex Procedures: CLE/DET announces 3 - phase plan for 87 procedures for DTW, YIP, CLE and CAK fo r publication cycles 11/10/2016, 3/2/2017 and 4/27/2017. HOU – IAH adds 1 RNAV SID for the 5/26/2016 publication cycle. NoCal – SJC adds 11 procedures for the 7/21/2016 publication cycle. o SIDs/STARs/RNP: 6 procedures added for 7/21/2016 publication cycle for numerous airports. · PARC GBAS – Here is a possible strategy proposed if the FAA were ever to adopt GLS. ILS Divestment Service – There is a minimum amount of GLS/LPV capability that needs to be attained to trigger removing ILSs. The mode l starts out with the logic is once GLS/LPV - capable operations exceed 25%, divest 25% of ILSs when their lifecycles expire, once GLS/LPV - capable operations exceed 50%, divest 50% of ILSs when their lifecycles expire and once GLS/LPV - capable operations exce ed 75%, divest 75% of ILSs when their lifecycles expire. Minimum ILS per airport, NSG1 – 4, NSG 2 – 2, NSG 3 & 4 - 1 and NSG 5 - 0. Think of NSG as busiest to not busy. o Some had issues with the model as it is too generic and doesn't take into account sp ecific airports and circumstances. · SEA - AJV - 142 participated in a Safety Risk Management Panel (SRMP) at Seattle TRACON (S46) to consider a change to local procedures for concurrent operations at Boeing Field (BFI) and Seattle - Tacoma Internation al Airport (SEA) in less than visual conditions. o The current agreement between S46, BFI Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and SEA ATCT applies only to Instrument Landing System (ILS) approaches to BFI and SEA; the proposed change would add specific PBN approaches (at both airports) to concurrent operations when in south flow configuration. o This change proposal includes the curved path Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Authorization Required (AR) approaches published to support the Greener S kies Over Seattle project and, if approved, the change would enable increased utilization of these
