Enter data into analytical models (long range and same day planning) to develop strategic deconfliction plans
As needed, support the training of FAA staff on process execution related to newly designed traffic flow management program
Document all lessons learned and FAA process improvement opportunities for evolution of strategic deconfliction processes/capability
Apply knowledge in the domain of engineering and operations research to optimize NAS strategic deconfliction plan
Define post event analysis criteria and data expectations
Document recommended process improvement opportunities
