The harmony demonstrated by the meeting particip a nts was exceptional. The teams developed a list of commitments and actions to be completed in order to meet the implementation objectives of Metroplex R NAV/RNP procedures in the NAS. While the results of this meeting were essential to the successful implem entation of the SoCal Metroplex project and benefits in the NAS, it was an added benefit for all participants to share operational concepts as SENEAM works towards a PBN based operation in its own air traffic system.
