the Lei dos group and asked them to turn the IDR off until we get the issue resolved.
They complied and the IDR s are currently suppressed.
The week of October 24 , I had a NATCA SME at ZFW to take a look at the TBFM
current use and settings. We will be suppor ting ZFW with coupled scheduling and GIM - s
in the near future and needed to get an advanced look. We also tested TBFM to TBFM
(T2T), which allows facilities to use IDAC during metering. Currently, IDAC can only be
used for miles in trail restrictions. T his activity went very well. We will schedule another
key site to make sure T2T works at an additional site prior to moving forward to
additional sites.
This week the National TBFM Ops Team is in D . C . to train and implement IDAC at ZDC,
IAD, DCA , and BWI. We will continue IDAC training the week of November 7 and add
RIC to the list of facilities to be trained. We are working with RDU to determine a time to
conduct their training. Next week I will be in Atlantic City for a TBFM Ops Evaluation.
