  1. XAO Hot Issues PAR Simulator Procurement • Currently acquiring two PAR simulators • UFA Stand Alone PAR simulator • ADACEL PAR Simulator attached to the Tower Simulation System • Actions Taken: • Evaluation of UFA Simulator accomplished at Seymour Johnson AFB • AFFSA team evaluated ADACEL simulator • Current Status: • MAJCOMs identifying PAR requirements per location for both UFA and ADACEL • Both simulators are comparable but money exists for purchase of the ADACEL simulator now • Future Actions: • Once PAR simulators purchased, determine if SEI can be awarded through use of the simulator

  2. XAO Hot Issues Common Delivery of Installations Support • Recent BRAC proposal included recommendations for “joint basing” opportunities to include 12 joint basing arrangements • Created Common Delivery of Installation Support (CDIS) Work Group to: • Develop policy and create “a strategic framework for delivery of installation support services • Established Service Standard Teams (SST) to draft cross-service standards • Airfield Ops SST meets 28 Nov-2 Dec NOTE: The main issue for us is that the CSAF said Airmen would open and operate airfields. Gen Fox, AF/ILE and OPR for this recommended the Air Force provide airfield operations for Army and Navy bases included in the 12 basing arrangements

XAO Hot Issues Common Delivery of Installations Support(Cont) • Joint Base (JB) Pearl Harbor - Hickam, HI • Navy Base Guam / Andersen, GU • JB Anacostia-Bolling-Naval Research Lab, DC • Naval Station Norfolk / Ft Story, VA • JB Lewis - McChord, WA • JB Ft Myer - Henderson Hall, VA • Charleston / Naval WS Charleston, SC • JB McGuire - Ft Dix - Naval AS Lakehurst, NJ • JB Andrews - Naval Air Facility Wash, MD • JB Elmendorf - Richardson, AK • Lackland / Randolph / Ft Sam, TX • Langley / Ft Eustis, VA Navy Lead Army Lead AF Lead

  4. XAO Hot Issues IFR Services Inherently Governmental • Pres Clinton signed Executive Order 13180, Dec 7 2000, designating air traffic services as an inherently governmental function • Pres Bush signed Executive Order 13264, Jun 4 2002, deleting the phrase “an inherently governmental function” from Exec Order 13180 • DOT/FAA contract some towers but intend to maintain IFR and busier tower facilities as if they are inherently governmental • ANG/SCF asked AFFSA if ANG could contract IFR services or do we follow DOT/FAA lead • AFFSA/XA drafted a letter requesting AF/JAG perform a legal review -- No response to date • AFFSA/XA’s position: based on Exec order 13264, AF/ANG should be able to contract IFR services

  5. XAO Hot Issues MDS Playbook • MDS Playbook • Phase One: Compile established “generic” tactics per MDS in a manner easily interpreted by ATCrs; received some info from AMWC • AMWC POC is still working specific MDS information -- AMWC POC TDY this past month and has not provided info yet • ACC does not compile “generic” procedures at a central location • Awaiting further guidance from CC based on conversation with XAD
