impacted facilities to discuss the day's activity and reduce the chance of problems. A King A ir will fly the close in routes with a Lear 60 doing the outlying routes. The DME/DME problems associated with the SVM VOR outage last week will require some segments already checked to be flown again to get the MEA's down to the needed altitudes. Approxi mately 95 percent of the LOAs and SOP s are complete. We held the SMS panel last week, and still have one facility LOA that needs to be addressed due to impasse between ZOB/ZID. Ron and I have made our decision on this issue, and had a telcon on March 21 to render our decisi on and send it to SMS to be 100 percent complete. A meeting was conducted with the Cleveland Center Training and Automation departments, the facility ATM , and NATCA FacR ep, to discuss the ZOB training plan and address some questions concerning the amount of each kind of training each controller would r eceive. Our ZOB POCs were well organized and validated the plan and the breakdown of each specific requirement along with the refresher just prior to implementation. All present agreed t hat the plan looks good and will be successful. The customer briefing planned at Toronto Center and subsequent meetings with NAVCANADA are still planned for April 11 and 12. A contact from the U.S. FAA Foreign Service Institute had previously indicated th at the team leads should receive information on the needed training required before foreign travel by the end of this week. However, nothing has yet been received by the team leads. NAVCANADA participated in our Central Service bi - - ‐ weekly TELCON this week and indicated that they were set for our briefing and meeting. The team leads will follow - - ‐ up tomorrow reference the training needed.
