The following is a sample of issues the National User Team worked on during three telcons in December: ICAO Full Template The task team briefed on the updated version of the use case, it looks to improve the functionality of the ICAO full template. The team will continue to work this use case. ER 178141 FDB Overlay Leader Line The final CHI for the FDB attachment points was reviewed. The team was in agreement with the final product. No further user team action is planned. ER 179247/179366 Altitude Menu Typing Buffer Replaces Altitude Menu The final CHI for the Typing Buffer attachment points was reviewed. The team was in agreement with the final product. No further user team action is planned. ER 178950 Data Com /U key Adaptation Request The team discussed the ER, to disable the /U command, and determined that no further work was need. This is corrected with PR E78750, which is packaged in EAD703 Field Fix Auto Point Out If ARTCC A Points Out to ARTCC B, then ARTCC A Hands off to ARTCC C, ARTCC C accepts Handoff, ARTCC B cannot accept Point out using the ACL or Fly out menu as the CID is gone and ERAM is not looking at AID. There are three ways that the ARTCC B controller can acknowledge the point out in this condition: 1. QP A AID or 2. Drop Flight Plan from ACL then recall it or 3. Drop Data Block then bring it back up. This is corrected with PR E78201, which is packaged in EAE100. A184892 D-Side Tech Refresh Strip Printing The team was briefed on an issue discovered in EAD700 Linux processors affecting d- side strip printing. Upon promotion of a channel from pending to Backup, the flight strip printers will be degraded and not print strips for up to five minutes. This is corrected with PR E81342, which is packaged in EAD703 Field Fix Electronic Horse Collars The team discussed the alternatives for display functionality of the checklists. The agreement was to move forward with one Force On option, amended language was sent to the team for review. The highlighting behavior will remain the same as it is in current functionality. ER 179415 Add Indication of Sat-Comm Equipage to Data Block The team discussed the draft problem statement, its desired behavior is to provide an FDB and ACL indication for a particular aircraft if J5 or J7, indicating Sat-Comm equipped, is filed in ICAO field 10a.
