Given that the (planned) beta is in June, is there a rough estimate on when facility staff position postings will be up? I'd assume it'd be some time before then to allow for SOPs and other facility files to be completed before beta launch.

RVDS or VSCS on a tablet or second monitor would be very cool! Also glad to hear the complexity, the radar client sounds great!

Will the ERAM side of things include some of the data processing functions that are available in the real system (such as recognizing waypoints on routes) so I could AM 468 RTE ./.BIGGO for an aircraft filed BLZZR..BAF.Q480... or BLZZR..BAF.HYPER7 and it will recognize that BIGGO is on the HYPER STAR or Q480 and automatically insert this correctly? This will also improve QU functionality. As far as STARS is concerned, will this also be a full simulation with CRDA, fusion, MSAW, autotrack, automatic scratchpad entries, etc?

Nico, it doesn't make a huge difference if nothing is amended. Most major airports (including some Class C's) will use PDC's for any CPDLC equipped aircraft, thus reducing frequency congestion. Some, such as Boston, will require pilots to report certain information such as beacon code, SID and ATIS on initial contact with ramp/ground for pushback. If something is amended, a full readback is required of any amendments.
