ER 156097 APR Length The team discussed the AIMS tickets that had been filed for APRs not being adapted because they were beyond the allowable length of 125 characters and the associated request to i ncrease the APR length. None of the sites that submitted AIMS tickets or the remainder of the user team felt that a change in APR length was need. The ER will be returned to the site. No further team action will be taken on this ticket. ER 19563 NEXRAD Ou tage The team discussed and reached consensus on the problem statement, its desired behavior is to provide a manual method where Tech Ops makes an entry to populate the R - side outage view when a NEXRAD outage has occurred and when it recovers. Once all tea m members concur , the document will be sent to SLE. A use case is not needed for this issue. Procedure Altitude The 7110 changes for use of Procedure Altitude and the Procedure Altitude Display Unauthoriz ed for Use memo were discussed. The timing of the 7 110 - change memo raised questions about what the official position is. The Procedure Altitude "P" is still not authorized for use and the associated memo remains in effect. Once all sites are operational on an EAD600 release an official authorization of use memo will be sent. Both documents were sent to the team as a reference. ER 95932 Master Brightness The team discussed three new brightness settings that will be added to the system and how they would be incorporated into the Master Brightness function if /when is it packaged. It was decided that comments would be added to the AIMS when new brightness settings are added to the system and that Leidos would review all brightness settings added to the system post problem statement and bring any discrepancies b a ck to the user team for review.
