notes on others. We also continue to find out the progress of the offset ILS to 22R/4L on the acceptable risk safety action. S ubmitted by Don Oss inger CLE/DTW Article 48 D & I liaison SoCal Metroplex The SoCal Metroplex Team successfully implemented Phase III on April 27, 2017. The 40 procedures implemented consisted of 13 SIDS, 17 STARS , and 10 Approaches. I would like to thank the SoCal t eam m embers and all the support teams , including the support staff at the facilities , who have put in countless hours of work that have made this project a success. There were several automation issues after the implementation. There was an issue with entry a nd or exit fixes between ZLA and SCT on several STARS. The ZLA FAST team implemented temporary changes to mitigate the problem. The FAST team also created an emergency ERAM modification and installed it April 28th, which permanently corrected the issue. There were issues with several carriers not familiar with climb via phraseology and compliance requirements not being understood by flight crews. Initially there were some flights that did not have the new procedures loaded into the FMS. The FMS issue decr eased as the day progressed. VNY tower advised that FATKO waypoint was published 1.7 miles off the end of RWY 16 and should be 2.2 miles to clear the BUR RWY 8 ILS and VNY traffic pattern. VNY Tower provided mitigation by issuing RWY heading until clear of the ILS and pattern traffic, then issuing a heading to the appropriate SID. A telcon is scheduled for next week to discuss possible amendments for a long - term solution during post - implementation. The RSA and r unway closures at LAX are ongoing throu gh the end of May. A post - implementation design team meeting was held April 5th and 6th with LGB Tower to addr ess issues with the TOPMM SID. The amendments to the SID have been submitted to AFS - 420 and 460 for waiver approval and are expected to be published in the October publication cycle. There are an additional 16 procedures that have been sent to AFS - 420 and 460 for post implementation amendments in the October cycle. Rob and I presented the Directors at the Western Service Center with a pre - implementa tion briefing on April 17th. The briefing also provided them with an update on the eight principles suing the FAA under the SoCal Project. Possible mitigations have been discussed with the attorneys of three of the principles, and a 180 - day extension has b een requested by one of the litigants. Submitted by Jose Gonzalez Article 48 Rep, SoCal Metroplex CSA PBN 2017 - 04 - 29 The Austin - Bergstrom Airport Advisory Council was briefed on the August 2017 post - implementation amendments by Kelvin Solco, Southwest Re gional Administrator and Bob Morris, Austin ATCT/TRACON ATM. The Austin Community Engagement website went live on the FAA website and many of the materials were us ed during the Austin briefings. Recently, AIS kicked back the amendments during their QC revi ew. The
