Finally, Bennie was working on another group in Canada , so I was able to attend the PCPSI meetings in Denver. Many criteria and design aspects were discussed with Industry Leadership and PCPSI m embers that specialize in Human Factors and Safety Awareness. This group is able to make recommendations to the PARC and positive ch anges can be put into motion. Please Note: Continued review and support of ERAM ER136427 (Proper ERAM S ID Functionality) is requested. Sabu Varghese, ZFW NATCA Automation Rep , is working and keepin g affected facilities updated. Currently, it has been place d in a "future" bucket by the NUT (National User Team) because of its size (cost) and complexity , but we are hoping for attention to it soon. Submitted by Brent Luna - CSC OSG PBN NATCA Article 48 Lead WSC OSG PBN – June 2016 5/2 - 4 Participated in PBN kic k - off to design and implement RNP approaches and an RNAV STAR for Grand Junction, Colorado. The workgroup completed initial designs of two RNP approaches and one RNAV STAR. A survey for runway 29 and IAP runway markings will be needed and initial coordinat ion through AJV - 14 has begun to request the survey. 5/9 - 11 Participated in an introduction meeting with NextGen Managers at SLC TRACON. The purpose of the meeting was to introduce the facility to the concept of EoR with the possible future intention of im plementing TF RNP EoR as requested by the NIWG. The airspace is constrained by mountainous terrain and the current downwinds would not be able to be adjusted. Therefore, there would need to be criteria released for TF RNPs to determine if the procedures ca n be designed within the airspace needs. The facility management and NATCA are very interested in EoR to improve the operation. 5/16 - 19 Participated in a PBN Scoping meeting with Tucson TRACON NATCA and Management with PBN Co - lead. A non - specific request was submitted by SWA for STARs, SIDs and RNPs. My co - lead and I felt there was a need to meet with the facility and scope a potential project to determine the needs of air traffic and determine if PBN procedures would work with the facility's operation. Th e work group was able to establish a need for air traffic and come up with some initial notional designs for three new RNAV STARs and RNPs. The BAR has been completed and will be submitted to AJV - 14 this week to proceed to a full work group. 5/23 - 26 Simil ar to TUS, a non - specific request was made by SWA for STARs, SIDs and RNPs at Salt Lake. As with TUS, the co - leads concurred there was a need to conduct a scoping meeting with Air Traffic to determine facility needs. The work group was able to come up with notional designs for several STARs and SIDs. Collaborative project with NextGen possible to integrate with EoR. 6/6 - 9 Participated in full work group meeting with Las Vegas TRACON to kick off a new STAR with connectivity to industry built RNAV visual appro aches. Also, to kick off amendments to RNAV SIDs at Henderson Airport a t the request of NBAA. The work group was able to come to consensus on all procedures and the procedures are being finalized for submission to environmental. 6/14 - 16 Participated in a ki ck - off meeting at NCT for a ZOA request to split two STARs serving San Jose Airport. Early in the meeting, it became clear there would not be consensus between the facilities and industry to split the procedures. My co - lead and I are in agreement that the will of one facility should not be imposed on another and intend to conduct analysis and determine the pros and cons of splitting the procedures and the potential impacts to air traffic and industry. ZOA representatives were not prepared to participate in a discussion on whether or not the procedures should be split so the meeting will be re - attempted at a later date.
