At this time, we continue to work on the safety analysis for EoRs, but nothing has been finalized. The NIWG has recommended sites for Radius to Fix (RF) and Track to Fix (TF) for independent and dependent operations as follows: Independent Operations usi ng RF for trips and duals - DEN, IAH and BNA for trips and duals. Dependent Operations using RF for duals only - SEA, DAL, and PDX. Independent Operations using TF for trips and duals - ATL, CLT, DFW. Dependent Operations using TF for duals only – PHL. Established on Departure Operations (EDO) The HITL schedule has been agreed upon and all Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) have been selected. The HITL schedule will be as follows: Dry Run: November 7 - 10, 2016 (ZTL and A80) Group 1: November 28 – Dec 2, 2 016 – Facilities other than A80 and ZTL with similar traffic complexity Group 2: December 5 – 9, 2016 – A80 and ZTL Group 3: December 12 – 16, 2016 – A80 and ZTL National Strategic Production Planning (NSPP) : We meet every Tuesday and discuss the procedu res that are scheduled for implementation across the country and have no issues to report at this time. Digital Approach Procedure Initiative We are still working on Phase 2 of this initiative where the primary approach that would be advertised on the AT IS when weather conditions are below Visual Approach minimums would be the RNAV (GPS) at those facilities where the majority of aircraft can fly this type of procedure and RNAV (RNP) approaches at locations where the majority of aircraft can fly this type of procedure. The facilities that have agreed to particip ate are PHL, SJC, SMF, and NCT. We traveled to PHL on October 25th and met with NATCA and Management to brief them on what the program was about to ensure they un derstood and could participate. Ev eryone was in agreement and the start date will be December 19 th and will last for 120 days. Additionally, we will meet with NCT and SMF on November 15th and SJC on November 16th. Performance Based Operations Rulemaking Committee (PARC) Navigation (NAV) W G We met in Atlanta on October 19th and 20th where we discussed the follow: ATC Climb Gradients Precipitous Terrain
