FAA JO 7210.3 has been amended to reflect theTechnical Operations reorganization.

e. 2-1-30. OPPOSITE DIRECTIONOPERATIONS

This change prescribes guidance for facilities in theapplication of Opposite Direction Operations.

f. 2-3-3. REQUIREMENTS

This change updates guidance regarding air trafficoperational familiarization and currencyrequirements.

g. 2-6-6. RELIEF PERIODS

A NOTE has been added to sub-paragraph a toexpand on the application of breaks.

h. 3-4-4. HANDLING RECORDER TAPES,DATs, OR DALR STORAGE

This change provides for a uniform standard of 45days for retention of audio by removing certainexceptions that currently exist. This change alsoupdates the reference source for data retentionperiods.

i. 3-6-7. PREARRANGED COORDINATION6-5-4. REMARKS DATA6-6-5. MESSAGE CONTENT

This change adds a new weight class designated as“super.”

j. 3-8-5. ESTABLISHING DIVERSEVECTOR AREA/S (DVA)

This change adds language that specifically includesaircraft conducting missed approaches or go-aroundsto utilize a DVA, and requires the air traffic managerto include the conditions to follow in their facilitydirectives. The TERPS order will also be revised toreflect this allowance.

k. 10-3-14. GO-AROUND/MISSEDAPPROACH

This change describes the conditions where anindependent safety analysis specific to ConvergingRunway Operations could provide the equivalentlevel of safety and improve efficiency.

l. 10-4-6. SIMULTANEOUS INDEPENDENTAPPROACHES

This change incorporates the latest Flights StandardsService (AFS) guidance concerning centerlinespacing in the conduct of simultaneous parallelapproaches. It consolidates the provisions of closelyspaced parallel approach paragraphs into a newarticulation for which dual and triple simultaneousindependent approaches can be conducted andaccounts for a new chart note annotation on approachcharts. New language that was coordinated betweenAOV and AJT concerning glide slope outages inexcess of 29 days now requires a Letter ofAuthorization from AOV, and includes a revisedAppendix 4. This content was not processed andpublished in 2014 as expected and is incorporated inthis change. Additionally, this change accounts forthe use of FUSION when conducting final monitoractivities, and corrects the names of responsibleoffices in headquarters due to the recentre-organization.
