ATD-2 Continues CLT Training for Phase 2 Field Demonstration
October 26, 2018
Due to impacts of Hurricane Florence on the September Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2) Phase 2 field demonstration training, a second round of training was conducted at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT, NC) during the week of Oct. 16-20, 2018. The ATD-2 team provided training for American Airlines (AAL) ramp controllers and regional carrier staff and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) traffic management coordinators (TMCs) and front line managers (FLMs) on the new Phase 2 features as well as refresher training for all features introduced since Sept. 2017. Each training session enabled users to learn about the features while being fully hands-on with the system. In the ATCT, 11 TMCs and FLMs were trained on the updated system; in the AAL Ramp, 22 AAL personnel received full training and a handful of others received partial updates as available.
