Dan Stefko (Region X) Engineering Support The above SMEs are FacReps, regional, and facility leaders. They take time away from t heir families and facilities to accomplish tasks necessary to make us all successful. Without their dedication to NATCA and the membership , TAMR would not be on track to bring the NAS onto a single automations platform for the first time in its history. Thi s also modernizes the NAS to a NextGen platform. Whether it be the 11 ARTS IIIEs, the 37 ARTS IIEs , or the 14 Legacy STARS systems that have been upgraded to the STARS G4 platform, the knowledge and skill displayed by the Aviation Safety Professionals on th is team ha ve made this endeavor possible. Many thanks to all of you and I look forward to another productive year. TERMIN AL FLIGHT DATA MANAGER (TFDM) Matt Baugh (IAH) is the Artic le 114 Representative for TFDM. Mr. Baugh's update is below. The protes t period is still ongoing with one vender, but the process is expected to be completed within the year. The TFDM team had a meeting earlier in the month with ZNY management to address concerns of theirs as to how the addition of TFDM would affect their da y - to - day operations when combined with TFDM, TBFM, and other upcoming pieces of the puzzle. We are still trying to finalize the SSS requirements so that the team can continue forward with Leidos and the building of TFDM. In addition to the SSS meetings, the TFDM team has been involved in numerous requirements and human factors meetings in order to drive what Leidos will ultimately build. Jim Scarpelli of CLE was brought on board this month to help with these processes. With his knowledge and skills ha ving used AEFS for the past two years, Jim will be another v aluable asset to the program. Thank you Jim for stepping up and volunteering your time and efforts for this program.
