• The FAA conducted public information meetings and webinars to further inform people about the procedures changes• The FAA also utilized public press releases on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and the Metroplex website• The workshops are open forum with looped videos, poster boards of procedures and subject matter experts available

for questions and answers • There remains a great amount of concern and frustration reference legacy noise and the assertion that procedures

have already been implemented

Remote Communications Air/Ground (RCAG) Site• A new Remote Communications

Air/Ground (RCAG) site was established to resolve poor communications within the SCT NORR sector• 127.0 MHz at REI was moved to

a new leased site at PaivikaRidge

• As of March 22, the site is operating in the 30 Initial Operating Capacity (IOC) period

• A new frequency (133.85) was established at the QX7 RCAG Site to resolve the MAVR controller being able to communicate with aircraft coming from the HEMT position• As of March 22, the site is

operating in the 30 IOC period

LAX Runway 07L/25R Construction Project(1 of 2)

• LAX Runway 07L/25R will close for approximately 45 days beginning in mid-April• When returned to service on/about May 25, available length

will be limited by the RSA project on the west end of the runway

• Available use during the RSA project:• Runway 25R Departures: Available for departures that can accept the reduced

length• Runway 25R Arrivals: Available for arrivals without the benefit of ground based

NAVAIDS• Likely used as a contingency for side-step and/or visual approach

• Runway 07L will be available for departures that can accept the reduced length• No arrivals will be allowed


LAX Runway 07L/25R Construction Project(2 of 2)


LAX Runway 07L/25R Construction Impact(1 of 3)

• April 27, 2017 SIAP charts related to Runway 07L/25R will slip to May 25, 2017 chart date

• The LEENA STAR has been an interim solution to route Cargo and General Aviation/Corporate turbo jet aircraft destined to the south ramp for parking from north of LAX and will be used during construction

• The Metroplex LAX DIRBY STAR was designed specifically to manage arrivals from north of LAX and will permanently replace the use of the LEENA STAR on June 22, 2017



• Arrival and Departure delays may exceed 30 minutes during IMC and/or east operations • The following Airport Acceptance Rates (AAR) and Airport Departure Rates (ADR) have been

coordinated for the LAX Runway 07L/25R construction project

.

• Traffic Management Initiatives (TMI) can include Ground Delay Program (GDP), Ground Stops, Call for Release, Metering and miles-in-trail (MIT)

• MIT from ZLC/ZAB/ZDV as needed• Used to fine tune delivery and support TBFM

• MIT from ZOA as needed• Used to fine tune delivery and support TBFM

• Time Based Flow Metering • Preferred method of delivery over miles-in-trail

• Departure MIT as needed• All TMIs will be continuously evaluated and will be lowered or removed when there

is confidence that procedures, airspace and automation are working as designed


SoCal Metroplex Related TM Initiatives(1 of 2)

• LAX GDP daily for arrivals between 1500-0600Z or as needed• U.S. and Canada

• First week West: 50-52 AAR , East: 46-48 • Second week West: 54-56 AAR , East: 46-48 • MIT implemented as needed to fine tune delivery and support TBFM• LAX to SFO and SFO to LAX departures to depart within EDCT during

weekend SFO construction times• All TMIs will be continuously evaluated and will be lowered or removed

when there is confidence that procedures, airspace and automation are working as designed


SoCal Metroplex Related TM Initiatives(2 of 2)

• ZLA will implement two Airspace Flow Programs (AFP) 1500z –0600z daily for steady delivery of traffic through Areas A & B• Includes all ZLA traffic except • LAX arrivals• ZLA departures• SBA, SMX and BFL arrivals from ZOA

• Airspace Flow Programs (AFP) 1500z – 0600z for PSP/UDD/TRM arrivals from the East• The AFP will balance increased traffic for Stagecoach weekend and new SCT sectors• All three airports treated as one*Note-Reroute option through BTY corridor will avoid AFP delays


AFP Placement


SCT/ZLA Overall TM Initiatives• All SCT departures:

• 3-10 minutes-in-trail per airport per corridor will be implemented as needed to manage sector capacity

• Increased departure delays for other terminal airports may be needed to avoid additional delays to LAX departures

• Nightly telcon with ATCSCC and Industry to discuss next days operations and planning at 1730L PST

• End of Shift Summary for lessons learned


Playbook Routes

• PHX arrivals from ZSE and ZOA originating west of RNO including STS and SMF via BTY.J92.BLD..PRFUM..WOTRO.BRUSR1.PHX• Excludes SFO, OAK, SJC, MRY and FAT• First 4 days or as needed

• Limited ability for reroutes to assist with fix balancing will be managed tactically

POTENIAL COMMUNITY AND PROCEDURE ISSUES


SNA OHSEA ONE ARRIVAL (RNAV)and SNA TILLT ONE ARRIVAL (RNAV)

• The plaintiff(s) from the Orange County area are reviewing the current and future STARs with no specific challenge until after the procedures are charted• The OHSEA and TILLT

STARS are identical after STYFF waypoint


LAX IRNMN HUULL & RYDR STAR

• The plaintiff has proposed a change to theses STARs on the north downwind arrival flow to LAX

• The proposals have been reviewed by the Design Team and a response prepared for review by legal counsel


SNA Runway 20R - PIGGN SID(1 of 2)

• SNA departs Runway 20R over 95 % • Communities immediately south of

SNA and in/near Dana Point have expressed dissatisfaction over legacy and forecast noise issues

• The March 2, 2017 SNA PIGGN SID was designed to address community concerns and make the procedure easier to fly

DanaPoint


SNA Runway 20R - PIGGN SID(2 of 2)

• Following a commitment to evaluate the south flow SIDs at SNA, the Metroplex Team reviewed track data after the March 2, 2017 implementation

• It appears that departures are remaining within route centerline tolerance but are consistently east of course

• The Team is working with Industry, MITRE and ATAC to determine the cause of this anomaly

• One possibility is the procedure was coded with a DME from a NAVAID that may provide a MagVar inconsistent with the intended design

• Solutions are pending further evaluation

• The Metroplex Team is also evaluating a design to provide a curved path through the Newport Bay area to address community noise concerns

• The curved SID would be one of the first of it’s kind in the NAS

PIGGN SID Tracks

Curved SID Concept


LGB TOPMM SID Issue - April 27 Chart Date

• A final agreement was completed to amend LGB TOPMM SID due to potential conflictions with local VFR pattern traffic and noise abatement procedure

• Departing IFR traffic must climb to 1500 AGL to provide positive separation from VFR traffic in the local pattern• The April 27 procedures will be implemented as a test

for the first day with LGB ATCT to observe location of departure turns

• On April 28 the ATCT will assign a heading and altitude for the initial departure phase of flight

• A decision will be made as to how subsequent daily operations will be managed

• The October 12, 2017 chart date will be updated with a revised altitude and heading

RWY 07L/25R

RWY 07R/25L


SNA Runway 02L SID

• The SNA Runway 02L HOBOW SID will be implemented on April 27 with a TF-TF procedure design• North flow is used less than 5 % of the time

• Industry has accepted the design; however there are numerous segments where a departure rolls wings-level and then banks for the next turn in a short distance• The Design Team is exploring two curved

SID options in collaboration with Industry partners to improve SID design and as a location for data gathering to validate the curved SID premise


POST MARCH 2, 2017 PROCEDURE AMENDMENTS


SoCal Metroplex Design Team Meeting

• A Design Team meeting was conducted at ZLA March 21-23, 2017• SoCal Metroplex has limited procedure production slots for October 2017 • The Metroplex procedures in the table below will be modified to correct design

issues on October 12, 2017 except for the PSP SIZLR STAR• These changes were designed in collaboration with Industry partners
