Las Vegas Metroplex Started the month preparing for the ZLA Admin Week held later in the month. The Metr oplex Leads, as well as, the POCs from L30, traveled to OKC to simulate the RNAV approaches we developed earlier this year. This was a VERY productive week! I would recommend anyone that is developing new approaches reach out to AWP - 220 (All Weather Ops Te am) and see if they can simulate their designs. They spent the entire week working with us and it was ver y valuable, unbiased feedback. We attended the Metroplex Leads meeting in Denver. Finally, the week of Aug. 28 through Sept. 1 was spent in Palmdal e. The Core Team had prepared an Admin week for the ZLA SMEs and we gave those briefings. Design work is scheduled to begin with all facilities on Sept.19. Chris Thomas Las Vegas Metroplex NATCA Lead.
