to schedule more consistent meetings with each other in order to ease the transition period of all systems being operational in the coming years. Members of the Implementation team visited SAN & LAX to give a high-level briefing of TFDM and to survey the facilities and their equipment rooms to determine if they have enough space for TFDM when it gets there. LAX seemed to have ample space in the equipment room and multiple options for the tower were discussed and are possible to fit their needs. SAN has very limited space in their equipment rooms and it is possible they will require some type of help in getting the necessary space for the equipment racks. The tower had more flexibility and options are being looked at. These were just the first in many early site visits to facilities that were identified as having limited space. Over the next year or so we will be making the remaining visits and will attempt to work on solutions. The Operations Team is working on finalizing our comments from the last Early User Involvement Event (EUIE). These comments will make up the bulk of the final changes we need Leidos to make in order for the system to be acceptable to us. There are still a few changes in progress that we need the system to have in order to meet the PHX Initial Operating Capability (IOC) of Nov. 2019. Operational testing is scheduled to begin in PHX in the April 2019 timeframe. Advanced Electronic Flight Strips (AEFS) Due to previous obligations, PHX and CLE are unable to provide AEFS with the required release of the system in order to update them to the new 5.4 build. We are still inquiring with each site about the possibility of updating their training systems, as this has no operational impact. A site visit to CLT by representatives of LAS has been tentatively scheduled for late June. LAS is interested in seeing the new build in action and will be looking to make a final determination on whether or not they want to bring AEFS to their facility.
