Florida Metroplex November 2017 Report • Participated in t eam meetings in Miami ( one week) • Briefed Southern Region RVP and Directors, Eastern Service Area , and OSG on current status of Florida Metroplex • Particip ated in Florida Metroplex t elcons Submitted by Greg Harris Florida Metroplex NATCA Co - Lead Eastern Service Area (ESA) PBN November 2017 Capital Area Project DCA/BWI/IAD ESA Co - Leads have continued to hold design meetings at PCT. The fourth meeting is s cheduled for the week of Dec . 12, 2017. In our previous three meetings, we have addressed community concerns, criteria issues, improving the operation at BWI with "RNAV off the ground" for all runways and amending procedures to accommodate triple ILS opera tion at IAD. ZDC and ZNY will rejoin the FWG to complete SID and STAR work in their facilities. The hope is to have design work complete at this meeting with an additional meeting scheduled for February for final review and "pencils down." CVG Project Th e CVG project was started in mid 2015. This is the ESA PBN team longest running active project. The project has been "shelved" twice before for other "higher priority" projects. Our last design meeting was scheduled for next week but travel funding was den ied and the meeting has been canceled. We will try to complete the project and publish in FY19. The TVT VOR was to be removed during our project to meet its scheduled decommissioning in FY18. AIS, Central FPT and Eastern FPT meet on Nov . 28, 2017 to discus s option to meet the goals of the VOR MON project. The two Service Centers will work with AJV - 14, AIS and the Eastern Co - Leads will work to remove TVT from the ROCKT SID in FY18 via an expedited abbreviated amendment process. N90 M eeting We traveled to N90 to work on several projects that have been delayed and address new projects requested by the facility and Industry. Our primary goal for this meet was to finish the RNAV STARs to LGA, EWR , and TEB. Criteria changes need to be addressed to either rework the STARs or drafted waiver request. The complexities of N90 airspace, and traffic flows it was agreed and the facility chose to request waivers in almost every situation. ZNY had request a new SIDs and STARs into EWR and JFK. EWR is more complex which wi ll require additional facilities (WRI, EWR tower) and other areas with N90 to participate in the design. The JFK procedures were less complex and we have a notional concept to move forward into design. N90 requested time to look at other internal notiona l projects and we accommodated their request. There were notional SID designs and amendments at LGA and JFK. We have not scheduled follow on meetings at this time because of the funding and priority discussion scheduled for early January 2018.
