o EWR had a failure since IOC in which they had to go back to paper fo r approximately 30 - 40 minutes. This event was a combination of several smaller issues, from which the sys tem was unable t o recover. The system was rebooted a nd ran fine for nearly 10 days. o Another issue occurred Sunday, May 15, around 17:30Z. They had to revert to paper for approximately 4.5 hours but have since rebooted the system and are running normally . The cause of this error has yet to be determined but the tech center has the log information and has already begun working the issue. o EWR will be getting ARMT to assist in the forwarding of arrival strips to the local controller in July. • SFO o Hardware installation is s chedu led for the week of 5/23. An additional training system will be installed in the TSS lab in Oakland the same week. o Build 5.3.0.3 is expected to be delivered to SFO by June 10th so they can use i t in their simulator to test it s functionality prior to traini ng the controllers beginning July 1. o Their local cadres will be trained the week of June 27, with fac ility training from July 1 - 16. TSS training has been schedule for a full day for each controller from July 18 - August 12. o SFO has scheduled to start shadow ops in the old tower on the mid, August 13, and will continue until IOC. o They will go live with this build, if it is acceptable and stable, in the old tower in late July and will IOC in October sometime after the cut - over to the new tower. o Tech ops trainin g is scheduled for August 2 - 4. • LAS o Adaptation work is on - going and will continue until we beg in training in early November. A visit is schedule this week, May 16, in order to finalize their adaptation requests. o New tower cut - over is planned for October and they will not be going IOC for approximately 60 days after, to allow for controller adjustment to the new facility. o Tech ops training scheduled for September. • CLT o The CLT kick - off was held on May 5th and had representatives from both management and NATCA from the facility and national level, as well as representatives from NASA to support the ATD - 2 project. o IOC has been tentatively planned for February 2017 with training to begin in mid January. • SWIM Visualization Tool (SVT) o Deployment of the new software build has bee n implemented at all 11 sites. One facility has been identified as not using the equipment and we have begun the process to find an additional site to deploy in order to gain as much feedback as possible to support the TFDM replacement piece, SSA. o Another CCB is being scheduled to discuss which facility to place SVT, as well as any furth er enhancements to the system. Feedback from the facilities suggests pref - sets similar to TFMS, as well as filtering based on
