SAFETY AND TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT AIRSPACE : Jim Davis (PCT) is the National Airspace Lead for NATCA. Below are reports from various Airspace Team Leads. Charlotte Metroplex – May 2016 Ron Myers from ZDC became the Charlotte Metroplex Article 48 . Former Lead Bob Szymkiewicz is now in a staff position at the Eastern Service Center OSG in support of Metroplex projects. An industry outreach was conducted with approximat ely 30 personnel in attendance. The m ain concern was the split implementation and it was decided that subsequent Clt Metroplex implementations will be on a single date. American airlines relayed additional personnel are required on chart date to ensure all flight plans are correct for new procedures. Split implementations require them to do this twice. All those who were in attendance agreed due to the implementation being imminent to continue with the split for May's. The northwest corner at CLT is an area that we continue to monitor. AAL tech pilot visited ZTL and during outreach rela yed some of the resolutions that were discussed with the controllers. A very good discussion was also held with facilities and tech pilot after industry outreach. The d eci sion by all involved in the meeting was to monitor and then evaluate if July ' s change s to the Northwest procedures alleviate issue.
