There is another concern with training revolving around the current 45 - day training win dow. Our concern is that the amount of information that will be trained will be difficu lt to recall 30 - 45 days later. Internally, we have set a 30 - day goal for controllers and we are preparing a refresher course for facilities to utilize, if they choose, for those controllers who are outside of either the 30 or 45 - day window. Advanc ed El ectronic Flight Strips (AEFS) Work is ongoing for the 5.4.0.0 build of AEFS. This build will include further stability increases, wrap the previous patch build for CLT into the baseline, as well has adding numerous wants/needs identified by the field sites over the past two years. This build should begin testing sometime later this year around Dec. 3 and be ready for field - testing in early to mid January. CLT CLT is awaiting the next patch for build 5.3.0.3 which fix an issue previously found regardin g ERAM and the Coordination Fix adaptation setting in th e overlying center ' s airspace. With this set to " On " in ZTL, any revision received by AEFS kicked off the aircr aft type of the revised strip. This issue was found in testing and turned " Off " but has s ince caused problems with A80 and any underlying Remove Strips message. The patch is set to test the week of 09/11 and ZTL will turn the adaptation back to " On " so metime during the 09/14 shift. The patch has passed all of the tech center testing and we ar e confident that it will succeed in the field.

Even though the users have been granted temporary access to the NOD and it is being looked at to help other areas within our realm, we need to ensure that we have all of the capabilities the field needs wrapped up into as fe w pieces of glass as possible.
