The Stars Enhancement 2 Task Team continued working on the differences between Stars and ERAM automation platforms. The transfer of fourth line data between ERAM and STARS use case is complete and waiting on final National User Team concurrence. The following is a sample of the issues the National User Team worked in January 2018: • EAE100 Adaptation (Non-Data Comm); • The team reviewed non-Data Comm adaptation changes for the EAE100 release; • ER 179415 Add indication of Sat-Comm Equipage to datablock; • The problem statement was discussed; its desired behavior is to provide an FDB and ACL indication for a particular aircraft if J5 or J7 is filed in ICAO field 10a; • ER 176378 2 Flights with the Same Route Show Different Protected Segment; • The ER is being worked by the task team. ICAO Full Template The team discussed and reached consensus on the use case, its desired behavior is to improve the functionality of the ICAO full template. Once all team members concur the use case will be sent to SLE. ER 183657 Additional Commands The team discussed and reached consensus on the problem statement, its desired behavior is to expand the list of commands an ERAM controller could enter that would define local control for an aircraft entering ERAM airspace from a Non-ERAM (CAATS) facility. ER 180253 GPD Changes task team was formed to work on the issue. Future Bucket List The team discussed the ERs on the NPT Future Bucket list to assess each issue for need and priority. ER 184929 Runway Length Further analysis of the ER revealed that the published charting data uses the same rounding method as ERAM. The team decided to pull back the problem statement for this ER, leaving the functionality unchanged. HUMAN PERFORMANCE Jay Barrett (MIA) is the Article 114 Representative for Human Performance. His report is below. Human Factors Activities N90 - Jason and I began interviewing the current trainees in an effort to ascertain if there are issues or deficiencies that we might be able to assist with, prior to beginning the training standards activities. Our hope is to provide assistance to any that might currently be struggling so that they will have a better chance of success. We are trying to remove the negative stigma that exists concerning skill enhancement training by assisting FLMs in assigning more of it, with higher quality, earlier in the training process.
