Report from Greg Harris, Florida Metroplex NATCA Art 48 R ep . Cleveland/Detroit Metroplex Design & Implementation The Community Involvement may be coming to an end . Mayor and c ity leaders have been briefed around the surrounding ai rports of CLE and DTW. We are currently reviewing AFS - 420 recommendations to the procedures development and we are working with the teams to try to apply the recommendations. The CLE/DTW project is trying to get back to a timeline for completion and ge t to 100% design some 15 months late. This was due to the added requirements for additional work required by headquarters with the community. We are trying to set a goal of February 5, 2017 , to submit packages to environmental to re - engage the Metroplex pr ocess. DTW had several issues during a c hart change on November 10th. There were some 80 - frequency issues and other things wrong with the procedures. The attempt was made to correct the issues prior to publication, which was within the timelines of the p rocess. This failed , as the person that maintains the NASR database didn't do anything with the information. As a result, charts were published wrong and will not be corrected until January chart date. This is not a new issue and has happen ed at several ot her locations but the weak link has never been fixed, I have asked for an investigation into this error and will continue to pursue it. Report submitted by Don Ossinger CLE/DTW Article 114 D& I L iaison SoCal Metroplex The SoCal Metroplex Team implemented 46 procedures on November 10, 2016. The implementation was an overall success. There were minor flight plan issues that were quickly corrected. There was some climb via phraseology issues with some of the aircrews, but the team working along with our indu stry partners began to get the information out to fli ght crews to correct the issue. The RNP approach at SAN and BUR were flown that morning and the procedure flies great. The team is now beginning work planning for community engagement along with the fi nal preparations for the M arch and April implementations. Congratulations to the SoCal Team and all of the support team members. Submitted by Jose Gonzalez, SoCal Article 114 Co - Lead CSA PBN 2016 - 11 - 26
