configuration 2. After designing the airspace, they have greater comfort that the HITLS will validate the new design. • Workgroup listed restrictions on the new SIDs need to be confirmed by industry. • Core team went over the task tracker and closed several completed items. • Core team determined which winds and temperature should be used for Industry Sims. • 95th percentile of historical winds. • MITRE is helping to develop the wind direction and speed for the reciprocal directions. • Temperature will be 105 degrees (just below the average high temperature during July). Week of 5/28 to 6/1 No meetings were held this week due to the Memorial Day holiday. The Core team worked on Design Packages remotely. Week of 6/4 – 6/8 L30 Design workgroup meetings were held in Las Vegas at L30. Developments: • PDARS specialist from ATAC used last week to review the new airspace design and catalogue discrepancies for the workgroup to review. • While controlling traffic at L30 last week, design team was able to determine best design for slow propeller driven aircraft entering TRACON airspace from the southwest. • Team resolved all issues catalogued by ATAC. • Airspace boundaries were matched in all four configurations when possible to simplify training. • Workgroup developed PowerPoint presentation for the National Park Service (NPS) to show proposed procedures. • Presentation was Tuesday, June 12 at L30. • NPS is bringing seven people from three different national parks. • Workgroup began PowerPoint presentations for facility leadership meeting. • LAS and L30 leadership was briefed at L30 on June 13. • ZLA leadership was briefed on June 20 or 21 in Palmdale. Ongoing Project Issues Facility Staffing and Support L30 is currently below its goal number for CPCs and are working an extensive amount of operational overtime. Due to the restructure with the new terminal GMs L30/LAS are very short staffed in their support offices, particularly for L30 in their support of training and airspace. The L30 FacRep has expressed concern as to how we can implement our project. We need to work with facility leadership to explore options for help during implementation phase, i.e., finding outside help to develop ETG problems and new map development (currently no one in the facility has knowledge with AT Coach or problem development), as well as help developing new training material. ZLA is in a similar position operationally. However, it appears its support staff is in better shape. The difficult position for ZLA will come when we need to occupy their DySim lab.
