some team resources are being utilized to help the Southern Florida team s further mature their designs. o Mark Ostronic (S46), NATCA Metroplex Team • Florida Metroplex o The majority of the design was done in the southern part of the project. Miami Approach, Miami Center and Palm Beach Approach continued to work the challenges of the complex airspace of south Florida. o ISIM scenarios were completed and displayed at the following facilities . (DAB, FMY and ZSU). Additional ISIM scenarios continue to be developed for future displays with most if not all facilities in the Florida Metroplex project. o Mr. Harris briefed Terry Locke on the status of Florida Metroplex. Mr. Harris also attended a rou nd table discussion held by the Regional Administrator on outreach of the Florida Metroplex project. Attended two of the three ISIM displays in the above mentioned facilities. o Submitted by Greg Harris, Florida Metroplex NATCA Art 48 rep • Washington DC Metro plex o The DC Metroplex successfully implemented "Post Implementation" procedures for Baltimore Washington Thurgood Washington International Airport (KBWI), Washington Dulles International Airport (KIAD), and Richmond International Airport (KRIC) on February 4 , 2016. There were no issues associated with the implementation, however there ha ve been some issues with i ndustry pilots not understanding the meaning of "Climb Via the TERPZ SIX Departure or Climb Via the CO NLE THREE Departure" for KBWI. We have been t rying to work with those carriers, in which some have produced bulletins for their pilots emphasizing what is expected and required. We will continue to monitor the departures to see if the bulletins have corrected the issue. o The team has been preparing fo r the last set of "Post Implementation" procedures, which i s scheduled for March 31, 2016. This work includes amending Letter of Agreements, Standard Operating Procedures, Automation (ERAM/ARTS), Video Maps, NFDC Routes, Coded Departure Routes, SWAP Routes , and ex ecuting the required training. The airports affected with these procedures are Washington National Airport (KDCA), Washington Dulles International Airport (KIAD), Manassas (KHEF), Baltimore Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport (KBWI), Leesburg Executive Airport (KJYO), Winchester Regional Airport (KOKV), Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport (KMRB), and Davison Army Airfield (KDAA). For KIAD, the BULRN RNAV SID is being canceled and replaced with the SCRAM, JDUBB, and CLTCH RNAV SIDS; KBWI has minor changes on the ANTHM and TRISH RNAV STARS where the FINNS waypoint is being changed from a FLYOVER (FO) to a FLYBY (FB) and the waypoint RAAYY was added with a crossing restriction of 4000 feet for aircraft landing Martin State; KDCA amende d three RNAV SIDS to allow KIAD, KJYO, KMRB, KOKV, and KDAA to tie into them as well as added a runway four transition to three eastbound RNAV SIDS since the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority (MWAA) extended runway four to 5000 feet long making it feasible for m ore jet aircraft to request it. We also amended two westbound RNAV SIDS, which will provide divergence sooner allowing the SE aircraft to climb without being restricted.
