This was the first time we got to see their corporate env ironment and many of the topics from the Summit ro lled over into these meetings. We (NATCA) need to work closely with AJV - 14 to rewrite Task Order 18 to ensure we get what we need from contract support. We spend at least half of our time in Central working issues with the contractor team and that time simply can't be replaced. We performed follow - up tasks for the KAUS Meetings and prep meetings for KSAT the last week of March. o This last week of February was spent at the RO working on a number of i tems. We a re preparing for another North Texas m eeting in early April to see what will be worked in the 7100.41 process. Records for KAUS were reviewed, and several KSAT pre - meetings were held to discuss how Central will begin ensuring a higher level of community en gagement. This is an ongoing effort, and a future meeting is planned with our Environmental Team and other Central OSG Leadership to formulate our action plan. We also were in contact with KOKC & ZFW to finalize the notes that were being qu estioned. Altern ate language was developed and has been sent to AJV - 14 so they can work it through AJV - 8 and confidence is high that ZFW will get what they need. o Submitted by CSA PBN NATCA Art. 48, Brent Luna • Cleveland/Detroit Metroplex Design & Implementation o Attended th e Airspace Services Summit at MITRE and a chance to talk about the airspace issues that face not only Metroplex , but also other projects.
