Eielson AFB. The existing legacy STARs are combined RNAV and Conventional procedures, which are out of criteria. Participants in this kick-off included ZAN/A11 NATCA and Management, Air force C-17 pilots, Air force F-22 pilots, Air force TERPS, FPT, AJV-14 and the co-leads. Workgroup consensus was reached for all procedures and a follow up meeting will be conducted within the next few weeks to discuss potential changes to IAPs at the airports to support connectivity with the STARs. Also, during this trip a telcon was conducted with Fairbanks TRACON and Alaska Airlines to kick-off amendments to RNP procedures at the Fairbanks airport. Due to criteria and connectivity issues, these procedures have been N/A'd. The workgroup was able to reach consensus for the needed changes to the IAPs to bring them into criteria as well as amendments to the RNAV STARs to fix the connectivity issues. Procedures processed by co-leads during this period: Seattle RNAV project, HND SIDs, LAS SITEE STAR, IAH EoR, FAI RNPs/STARs, PAED/PAEI STARs, BFI RNAV SIDs, LAX RNAV SIDs, SUU RNAV STAR, TUS RNAV SIDs/STARs, NCT T's, ZSE T's, ZLC T's, KSLC SID amendment, SLC STAR/SID BAR Completed, SDF EoR Briefing, ANC WITTI STAR, KBLI MADEE STAR, PHNL RNAV Project, GPI RNAV SIDs, DFW EoR Submitted by Phil Hargarten – WSC OSG PBN NATCA Article 48 Lead & National EoR Rep Metroplex Study Team – July 2016 The Las Vegas Metroplex Study Team completed all of its' conceptual design work by November 6 and then began work on the Study Team Final Report. The Study Team Final Report has now been edited by the team and the Metroplex Program Office Leads and has also finished going through the tech writing process. Also, for the first time in the Metroplex study team process, we established direct communication with the local airport authority and the Airport District Office to discuss potential noise sensitive areas and environmental hot spots. The final report has been signed by the Director of Airspace Services with a likely D&I phase kickoff sometime in the Fall 2016 timeframe after a determination of what the airport and community outreach will look like and finalizing funding issues. Also, the tower/TRACON move into their new facility sometime in August. The study team analysis of the conceptual designs has determined roughly $7.5M in potential benefits to the Las Vegas Valley with an $11 cost to the agency. Pre- design coordination involving community involvement has already commenced. We continue to work with the VOR MON program to determine the most efficient way to integrate the ongoing work being done by VOR MON with the need to replace procedures through the current PBN processes. There are ongoing talks with AJV-14 to add additional co-lead support in each of the Service Centers to do this extra procedure design and development. We also continue to work with AJV-14 to improve the PBN Dashboard by finding ways to validate the accuracy of the Dashboard data along with efforts to examine the consistency of the data. The PBN Dashboard is the main support tool used by the OSG PBN Co-Leads to produce the Baseline Analysis Reviews (BAR) for PBN project requests through the 7100.41A process. We are also engaged in the rewrite of the 8260.43 order that governs the scheduling and prioritization of procedure development in AJV-5 (Aeronautical Information Services) although work may soon commence on a prioritization plan with AJV-14 in the near future. No future meeting dates for the 8260.43 re-write workgroup have been scheduled at this time. I am currently the NATCA POC for the SFO CAR (Corrective Action Report). The CAR is reference the DYAMD and SERFR STARs into SFO and an issue with the descent profile leaving the confines of the Class B airspace with speeds higher than allowed in the FARs. The POCs have sent forth a final response to the Director of Airspace Services and VP of Mission Support. The deadline was July 25, 2016 to have a response to the CAR signed. After review and signature, it will go to the ATSAP Analysis Team (AAT) for final concurrence or non-concurrence. We are also
