Community Involvement kickoff meeting, facilitated by the WSC CI Team to present the FWG final designs of SIDs serving Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC). FWG kickoff and design meeting for Pullman/Moscow Regional Airport (KPUW) to design a new RNAV (RNP) IAP to the new RWY 23. The new runway will be relocated approximately 30 feet to the east with a slight increase in elevation. The biggest challenge was determining the amount of ground removal required to eliminate Glide - path Qualificati on Surface penetrations while developing an approach path within criteria. FWG kickoff and desig n meeting, held in Anchorage, Alaska to discuss converting several Special RNAV SIDs for public use, in addition to amending T - routes, and developing a new Q - R oute coincident with J804R and J889R. The group determined that due to the special en route structure associated with the SIDs, AFS will continue to maintain the SIDs and public use SIDs are not necessary. International coordination with Canadian Airspace/ ATC representatives was required for further development of the Q routes as replacement of J804R and J889R. The FWG determined that a complete analysis of T - 222 is required to increase overall utility. Unlike most towns and cities in the lower 48 s ta tes , Alaska has many small communities that rely on low - level aircraft routes and flyover capability for delivery (air - drop) of needed supplies. Without these air route delivery systems, these communities are in jeopardy of missing basic supplies : grocer ies, mail, medicine etc. FWG design meeting to resume and finalize SID design for Palm Springs International Airport (KPSP) and Jack Northrop Field/Hawthorne Municipal Airport (KHHR). FWG kickoff and design meeting for Eagle County Regional Airport (KEGE ) to replace the Cottonwood RNAV Special SID with a public RNP 1 SID. Due to the technical aspects of developing the SID, industry partners, in collaboration with AFS - 460 will present flight simulator data and a flight deck video demonstration of LNAV enga gement using an unusual form of flight data coding (VA - DF below 500' AGL) to exhibit an equivalent level of safety and a new standard with Initial Climb Area (ICA) removal for RNP 1 SIDs. CSA PBN 2017 - 11 - 01 (Submitted by CSA PBN NATCA Art. 114, Brent L una) A new Management Co - Lead for Central has been announced. Berto Melendez has most recently been the OSG North Team Manager and brings an entire career full of En Route, TRACON, and Tower experience to the PBN Design Team. Karol Archer remains a part o f the Central PBN Team and her duties are being determined as the Co - Lead role fully transfers over to Berto. The Austin - Bergstrom Airport project is stil l scheduled to publish Dec. 7, 2017. Community Engagement activities for the Austin post - implementati on amendments continue to meet the local needs and are on track to sup port the new publication date. Pre - Implementation activities will spool up in November and support next month's chart date. We briefed the new San Antonio Airport Director and Staff reg arding the desired PBN procedures that are being developed with SAT Tower/TRA CON and our Industry partners. This kicked off the Engagement portion of the project and the draft Community
