The airlines asked the FAA to explore a public RNP to 13R at JFK and explore the possible use of EoR with 13L ILS. There are multiple constraints that make this request unobtainable and the request will be closed. MITRE studied the expanded use of the NTHNS and GLDMN SIDs when the TNNIS was in use to help alleviate LGA delays and noise concerns associated with the TNNIS. There may be opportunities but the connectivity between JFK and LGA departures and the use of the BELMONT and CONEY airspace by N90 would need further study. A study to move the LGA RWY22 missed approach demonstrated that it is currently at the best location for EWR, JFK, and LGA traffic. The NEC continues to explore ZDC sector 9 airspace changes. All indications are that this will be a significant benefit to both ZDC and delays out of the New York area. For PHL, the minima for the SCIA operation for RWY 9R/17 have been updated and a safety study is being conducted for SCIA operation for RWY 9R/35. Long-term impact to NY being studied are: • The low altitude route structure effects from the VORMON; • The lack of PBN procedures in the NY market; • How that affects metering and the future iTOB, and; • How to conduct community outreach (CI) and environmental processes when establishing PBN in the short and long term. Submitted by Bill Wise ESA PBN & NEC Airspace & Procedures Article 114 Rep Northeast Corridor 6/13 Update In the NEC NIWG, industry has identified 10 operational needs areas for the Northeast Corridor, identified as the area extending from Boston to D.C. Although the NEC area is Boston to D.C, the brunt of the requests for work is centered in the New York Metro area. Industry's top priority is de-confliction of New York Airports. In response to industries 10 operational needs request, the agency has identified ~40 milestones to be completed in the first 18 months and more than 20 additional milestones extending out to December of 2021. The candidate milestones were developed by the Collaborative Workgroup in consultation with the facilities. Industry representatives on the NIWG have expressed dissatisfaction with the milestones being committed to by the Agency. A significant number of the milestones are only committing to conduct feasibility analysis. Industry is also disappointed at the lack of PBN procedures for New York airports. Constraints limiting what the agency is willing to commit to include staffing at all facilities in the NEC, environmental issues, expected community uproar, lack of budget. Industry Operational Needs: • Address constrained departure routes in NEC during normal ops and during SWAP (Severe Weather Action Plan). Expected Benefit: Improve throughput; Improve use of existing capacity • Address loss of throughput due to airport, airspace interactions when LGA is on RWY13: Expected Benefit: Improved throughput during certain configurations
