Subm itted by Jose Gonzalez Article 48 Rep, SoCal Metroplex ATL Metroplex : The Atlanta Metroplex team is continuing work towards our 9/15/16 changes and our 11/15/16 STARs implementation. We briefed at NCF and the CNS taskforce this month. Both briefings went very well ; we talked about our implementation plan and the plan to keep the throughput at ATL at 132+ per hour during implementation. All of the New STARs charts have been reviewed and any errors were given to the Charting Team for corrections. This was a lesson learned from other Metroplex Teams. We have been insured that the Charts will be correct on 9/15/16. Jeppesen is also working with us to put the STAR Speed Note in a more prominent location; this will help insure the p ilots see the n ote. The Team me t with ZJX and ZTL to discuss the LOA for 11/15/16, along with any other outstanding issues. During this meeting the LOA changes needed were agreed to and an AIT was agreed to for a 60 - day test period. One of the biggest items to come from the meeting was ZJX agreeing to absorb an additional minute of delay and to help ZTL fix as many a/c as possible if they are on the wrong Directional STAR. This will help e nsure a smoother transition to OPDs. Our upcoming activities: 9/12/16 (Delta Follow - Up Brief), 9/15/ 16 (Dual STAR usage), 10/5 (GBAA Briefing).
