This past month has s een a change to the TAMR team. Doug Peterson , the long time TAMR Segment 1 lead and s oftware representative , will be retiring and he has started the pass down t o Kyle Ness (M98). Candy Barr (NEOSF) has been leading the way for NATCA TAMR and the Oper ational Support Facility (OSF). Candy has been involved with STARS since the late 1990 s. Scott Kendrick (North TX OSF) will be replacing Candy at the end of September . I know the TAMR team is excited to work with both Kyle and Scott. Doug and Candy will be missed. It has been an honor to work with these two NATCAvists. This month, Mr. Rose traveled to Chicago TRACON (C90), Chicago O'Hare (ORD), Marlborough, MA, Corpus Christi, TX, and San Diego, CA. C90 meeting with OSF G reg Jahn was very informative. We discussed the conflict alert ( CA) issues C90 is dealing with. I spoke to controllers regarding how they use STARS and which enha ncements they utilize the most. I wou ld like to thank all involved. Mr. Jahn has produced an adaptation that will mitigate about half of the CA nuisance alarms. NATCA , in addition to the TAMR program office , is working closely with the Air Traffic Manager ( ATM) to implement this change. Right no w the ATM is hesitant to implement the cha nges due to concerns on safety. A local Safety Risk Management Panel (SRMP) was held and they deemed all cha nges safe. The ATM does not agree , so talks are ongoing to help our b rothers and s isters.
