the new standards continuously by first week of September. We will support F11 for the foreseeable future, but in parallel would be transitioning to training and deployment at N90 in early October. Safety Culture A ssessment We will be doing survey collection at TPA on the week of July 10. The goal is to encourage as much participation as possible to compile a robust data set that the HPT can analyze and conduct follow up workshops in August. The goal of the workshop s is to inform the TPA workforce on the safety culture attitudes and environment, as it exists at TPA. This process is patterned after a longstanding process that was developed by Eurocontrol. A representative from Eurocontrol (Steve Sharrock) came to D . C . t o do a two - day demo of what the process looks like when they do it in Europe. This turned out to be very informative and helpful for us to develop the process we will use. There are a lot of organizational differences between the ANSPs in Europe and US. AJI has a goal of doing these assessments at more facilities next fiscal year, based on the efficacy of this pilot in TPA. Investigation training There have been some leadership changes in the AJI investigations group. The HPT did a dry run of this training fo r our internal team to see what materials work and what needs to be modified. We are still on track to deliver HF investigations training, but the timeline may slip due to the new players. I have been assured by AJI leadership that my involvement in this p rocess will be welcomed. This is a radical change from the posture of this group from 2 years ago. Teamwork Resource Management - (TRM) I was advised that we are looking for a facility to demo this class. The previous facility selected was not interested in participating. More to come. Health & Wellness Stress education - Materials have been forwarded to the recurrent training group. We continue to compile information and scientific research we feel will benefit the recurrent training group. AT Surviva l guide Coming along nicely. We have populated the outline with some substance and look forward to scrubbing this in mid September. Fatigue ZOA - We will visit ZOA on August 2 - 5 to do briefings and distribute the actigraphs. We will begin the 30 - day sleep study of the PAC - N & S oceanic areas. We should have a report available sometime in October on sleep amounts the controllers are getting in their off duty time. In General I participated in a two day IBC training workshop with the majority of AJI and the NATCA reps in AJI. It was conducted by Vern Huffman and Mike Bigler. It was very refreshing to see the exchange of information and hopefully some of the lingering issues in AJI will be addressed and resolved.
