authority, along with the Airport District Office, throughout the study team process. o We are also in the process of refining our agenda for the Metroplex Summit Meeting that is currently scheduled to take place on March 1 - 3, 2016 and have also begun preliminary discussions of what Metr oplex Segment 2 (S2) will look like and the possible prioritization of potential sites. o Submitted by Metroplex Study Team Lead Art. 48 Ed Hulsey · Nation Design and Implementation Rep o The FAA is focused on community outreach before the draft environmental assessment record of decision is released. Essentially they want to make sure that Airports District Office (ADO) and Airports are briefed on a regular basis during procedure development and to find potential "hotspots" before procedure desig n packages are at 100%. We have worked out when the ADO/Airports will be briefed for Metroplex both in the study and design phases and are working on when to do these briefings during the 7100.41 process. What we have not figured out is if "hotspots" are i dentified who and how will the community (Politicians/Public meetings) will be done. Jim Davis (National Airspace Rep) and Ed Hulsey (National Study Team Rep) and I are meeting with Lynn Ray (VP mission support) and her staff on 12/11 to attempt to work th is out. Realistically most implementation timelines will slide to right. o Mr. McKelligan attended a briefing given to Cleveland ADO/Airports by the Metroplex Co - leads, it was the first step in starting community outreach for Cleveland and Detroit projec t, as well satellite airports. The meeting went well and there will be a subsequent meeting in January to identify noise sensitive communities and figure out how we will move forward. o Mark McKelligan National D&I Rep · NATCA National Airspace Rep o Community outreach is still the number one concern for all airspace projects, we continue to meet with Lynn Ray (VP of Mission Support) and other managers to develop a p rocess to address this concern. Most likely, the efforts of additional community o utreach will force projects to extend their timeline. A couple of the Metroplex projects have started additional community outreach and the rest will follow shortly. o We are on version 9.2 of the NAS NAV Strategy document and will meet with the PARC on December 7 th to address their issues. The FAA is also trying to find resolutions with the DOD and gain their support for the strategy. The plan is to deliver a finished product at the next NAC meeting in February. o We are still working with the FAA and Mitre to help improve the PBN Dashboard. Recently, the 3 NATCA OSG reps too k a class on the PBN Dashboard. It is our intention to draft a document to deliver to the FAA and Mitre outlining what we see as problems with the Dashboard and offer suggestions fo r future improvements, our goal is to deliver NATCA's issues before the end of January. o Submitted by Jim Davis NATCA National Airspace Rep
