Responsible for the transition from ASP Meter to CTAS/TMA Meter at ZSE/S46/SEA/BFI/P80O/P80T. Program 6 months ahead of schedule and $5 million under budget. Arrival Sequencing Program/Time Based Metering-SEA/PDX/BFI/GEG/SEA+BFI. Seattle ARTCC TMU has successfully metered arrivals to our major airports since 1990. As a result, our facility has logged more hours than any other facility in the world. Category 3 Metering Protocols. Seattle ARTCC TMU commenced an effort to Meter only Category 3 aircraft during low RVR operations at SEA/PDX/BFI/GEG/SEA+BFI while allowing Category 1 and 2 customers an airborne hold option should conditions improve. Product delivered November, 2004. Tactical Arrival Sequencing Initiative. Tactical Arrival Sequencing Initiative (TASI) is the culmination of a one and a half year effort to maximize NAS efficiency when an impacting condition at an airport does not permit all arrivals access to the airport for an unknown period of time (e.g. weather below most customers landing minima, airport equipment outage, etc.). Product delivered for all ZSE customers November, 2004.
