build was checked out in the support lab with the assistance of the Ops Team and was later loaded on the Ops String that week. The system was acceptable to the site and ZOA has remained on 4.7. This implementation is crucial to the overall program goals of TBFM Sustainment. The same week the team conducted an IDAC Site Requirement Survey at GSO in support of eventual IDAC implantation at ZTL and their associated Towers. Additionally, TBFM Leadership met at MITRE for the first NEC Collaborative Workgroup meeting. TSAS – submitted by TSAS subgroup lead Tom Glaze (D21) The month of May was slow for TSAS. With the FAA now saying due to previous lawsuits at PHX that P50/PHX will no longer be the key site for TSAS. The FAA is supposed to have new direction for TSAS by the end of June. The week of 4/30: was a non-travel week for some of the TSAS Team. Several members traveled to assist the TBFM Ops Team with IDAC site surveys. I as the TSAS lead attended via telcon 16 meetings as well as numerous unscheduled discussions involving TSAS. The week of 5/7: three new TSAS Team members traveled to ZTL for the week to receive TBFM training and familiarization. I attended 20 telcons through the week. The week of 5/14: all TSAS members worked via telcons. I had 14 telcons I was involved with that week. The week of 5/21: originally scheduled as a training curriculum meeting at D01. This meeting was canceled due to the training contract being delayed indefinitely. I attended via telcon 20 meetings that week. The week of 5/28: This week was scheduled for much need TSAS lab testing at the Tech Center. This meeting was canceled last minute on late Thursday due to issues with bad software builds in the ANG TSAS capability lab. I attended via telcon 18 meetings. WAKE TURBULENCE John Murdock (PHL) is the Article 114 Representative to the Wake Turbulence Office for NATCA. His update for the week is below. The CWT Order is in the final stages of receiving signatures and approval. We anticipate the order being finalized and approved by mid-June. PHX/P50 and all underlying facilities will start workforce training on CWT June 17 and IOC is scheduled for July 17. We held multiple telcons with the military as Luke AFB posed an issue for Goodyear and Glendale airports and CWT. Luke AFB normally provides approach services to those airports. A few times a year Luke AFB closes and P50 assumes the approach control responsibilities. To avoid P50 from having to provide .65 wake separation standard to Glendale and Goodyear, Luke AFB has to implement CWT. The Air Force has approved the implementation of CWT at Luke AFB and they will go IOC the same date at PHX. This is a major milestone for a few reasons. P50 will not have to run different wake turbulence standards to different airports. This is a problem at multiple facilities that have
