HCF We have provided the facility and FAA leadership our recommendation and as of yet have not been given a green light to begin any sort of assistance to the facility. ZNY We should be formalizing a plan to assist ZNY in the near future; we are waiting for FAA regional leadership to give us the go ahead on this effort as well. TEAM RESOURCE MANAGEMENT This workshop is in a presentation mode and this Wednesday we will sit through a shakedown of how it comes across. It is a full 6 hrs. of material as it currently stands. As of yet I have not had a lot of in, but expect to be involved after Wednesday. ACADEMY AJI-2 has a new director now and Jason and I will attempt to work with her to formulate a plan to get the human performance material into the academy curriculum. We already have support of Biggio, so this shouldn't be a heavy life. There lift will be finding time in the curriculum. NATPRO Tom Adcock and AJI-2 asked for a review of the NATPRO cognitive training classes. It took awhile, but working with the HF PhD Dr. Rachel Seely we determined that current research suggests that gasification can work to improve cognitive performance, if the task is directly relative to the skill being worked on. NATPRO is not necessarily doing this as the majority of activities are just thinking games. As a result the HP office believes the NATPRO suite to be largely ineffective in increasing cognitive skills. INTERNATIONAL FATIGUE SURVEY This work is ongoing with sponsors in the international community. FSSC There will be a meeting tomorrow. Bob Jones has stepped down as the management representative and we will be getting a new one. His name is Jason Canton Magnolia district manager. ATSAP I have been working with Mike Blake and Steve Hanson to see if there is a way to extract ATSAP data into a spreadsheet that would make analyzing the reports less time consuming. IFATCA AMERICA'S MEETING I attended the conference in Costa Rica. There were 9 or 10 nations in attendance. I briefed them on the activities the human performance office is undertaking and fielding a myriad of questions for 3 days on issues that each country is having. This was an excellent opportunity to connect with other ANSPs and find out what is any support there is across borders. HEALTH AND WELLNESS
