held a TELCON on June 21 with all of the impacted facility management and NATCA TMU folks to verify readiness for the August 5 start-up of scheduling. The team was in Atlanta two weeks ago conducting dispatcher training at Delta Airlines. Our team was invited to the annual training for all of their dispatchers. This training takes about a month to complete and we were only able to participate in the first three days of training. On the second and third day, a video was made to shown in all subsequent training. Our discussion focused on a booklet assembled by the team which contained all proposed CDR, Playbook and Preferred IFR Routes for the Detroit and Cleveland areas.

This updated schedule now lines up with the updated EA timelines and Data Comm installation. The team also continued to discuss traffic management utilization and training prior to implementation. Mark Ostronic Denver Metroplex Article 114 NATCA Lead CSA PBN 2018-06-13 Budgetary issues with PBN procedure development and publication that led to a PBN project shutdown in December 2017 are easing. Projects and publication schedules are slowly being turned back on. PBN project priorities were given to AJV-14 in April. Existing PBN projects for Chicago, Columbus, and San Antonio will be the first of the larger projects brought back online. VORMON mitigations are the immediate focus. Planning telcons with each ARTCC in Central are being coordinated. The intent of these "VORMON refresher" telcons are to identify areas where the facilities need additional information or analysis. We will provide support to help each facility decide what the scope of their mitigations need to be. The immediate goal for fall of 2018 is to have packages submitted for each ARTCC that cover all VORMON impacts anticipated through PHASE I of VORMON (FY2020).
