Additionally, the team is also working on the procedural amendments for our last Post Implementation date of March 31, 2016, however there have been some issues from Aeronautical Information Service, but we have been working with them to ensure the procedures follow the proper process and sent to Flight Inspections by February 2, 2016 in order to mak e the NFDC charting deadline. o We are preparing the final Power Point briefing concerning the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authori ty (MWAA) for the Post Implementation amendments affecting the Washingto n Dulles International Airport. This briefing will provide MWAA with the required information to understand and handle any noise reports from surrounding communities based on the proce dural amendments from the publications starting on August 20, 2015 running through March 31, 2016. We don't anticipate any noise reports will result from these amendments as the FAA's Noise analysis reported no significant noise increases or decreases for the airport. Also, we are preparing the close out Power Point briefing, in which we will brief Potomac TRACON and Washington Air Route Traffic Control Center on all the changes we have made from August 2011 through March 31, 2016 . The report will show old and new procedures, results of those changes, and the benefits received for both controllers and pilots. At this time, a date has not been selected, but it will occur prior to our last Post Implementation date of March 31, 2016. o Submitted by Bennie Hutto Article 48 Rep, DC Metroplex · Phoenix Metroplex Update o The Phoenix Metroplex has been placed on hold awaiting further determination of if or when the project will be restarted.
