• Save Pref-Sets on Reroute monitor in the Global Preference Sets capability. • Save under Global Preference Sets any selection in the Customize Flight Display. • Improve the multiple flight plan indication in the RAD and its related Amendment statuses. This list may change as more sites come on line. CTOP This software was in Release 9 (R9) during 2012 and prior R3, of which the customers weren't prepared to fully interact with. Since then more customers have improved their software, which will allow near future opportunity to use more of CTOP. Within recent months, occasional CTOPs for DFW have been used to help refine customer software interaction. More strategies in its use are expected to gradually increase in the near future. NASA Integrated Demand Management – Testing continues to add variables with recently adding en route weather and TOS interaction through CTOP. A representative from the NASA workgroup gave a briefing on this year's research. TFMS DT needs to review the data and go through the simulation to provide feedback. Testing has grown to en route weather, single airport, TOS in CTOP, and TBFM. The future has us adding to this with more interdependencies. Up to the present time, we are viewing results from a simple complex task. The path leads to an ever-increasing interdependence of variables, which will help define a rugged complex system. The testing of simple and up is to fully understand the basic interactions, in a sea of complexity. Beyond rugged complexity, involves the system to always be moving in an interdependent environment that is full of changing behaviors, probability and other non-tangibles. This would be the end state of system testing, riddled with different thunderstorm systems with failed forecasts and any other connected variables that would require the system to adapt. TFDM discussion with TFMS – understanding the need to improve information sharing through automation on surface situation awareness between stakeholders. Primarily focused on traffic managers with benefits to customers in information sharing. The automation will allow common situational awareness with early problem detection allowing for a smoother problem resolution. More meetings of understanding content are expected with TFDM to help the progression of TFMS tool design and integration for the system problem solver's needs. Ticket Review We evaluated some of the AIMS and SIGs surrounding TFMS recent deployment with ABRR and PDRR. This is now a common housekeeping of TFMS DT which is important in how the current tool deployment is performing and the problems that may affect future tool design integration. TFMS Roadshow – is planning to start in January through April. This is an opportunity for field facility TMCs to work with TFMS SMEs, in a lab setting, to simulate tool use and interaction with the latest tool deployments. Since CTOP was deployed a while ago, an effort for the Roadshow is to refresh the field on its use. Little use has occurred to this point.
