Computers snarl U.S. air traffic

The FAA comments and ideas are old.

Talk about having a backup system. According to 1900.47B directive the FAA has contingency plans for the entire U.S. But they have never trained any one as it states in paragraph 15 of 1900.47B. I dare anyone to visit an ARTCC high altitude center, and at random walk up to a controller and ask them, If the center that boarders your airspace goes down or what the FAA calls ATC Zero what section of their air space do you assume?

All they know is that there is a contingency plan somewhere and they also know that there is an agreement with the next center about airspace. But they have no idea what it is because it has written on it For Official Use Only.

Maybe if the controllers had some training, when a center like Memphis goes to ATC Zero as it did again on Aug. 9th , with 5 centers boarding its airspace, just maybe they could have assumed Memphis airspace.

I went to a public meeting, at this meeting I asked the question, If Miami Center goes ATC Zero who will assume their air space? Rick Ducharme Deputy Vice President of Terminal Services said Jacksonville. But as I asked the next question Has any ARTCC center ever assumed another centers airspace? RICK DUCHARME said NO but yet this is their contingency plan.

Sure make you wonder how safe we are.

Regarding the 10 people who perished near Moab, Utah this past weekend, we continue to pray for them and their families, and we continue to mourn their loss.

In their memory, this country needs to restore safety to our broken air traffic system. FAA has been failing badly and continuously at least since Bobby Sturgell started working there as a protected legacy case in 2003.

A few days ago, FAA purposefully crashed its own NADIN (National Airspace Data Interchange Network) computer system, to suppress flight plans, lack of them, and other FAA electronically-documented failures. FAA also just crashed its own NOTAM (Notice To Airmen) computer system a few months ago, too, in an effort to suppress dispersal headings and flight plans.

On the heels of at least 3 separate U.S. plane crashes this past weekend - ten (10) died in Moab Utah, three (3) died in a Las Vegas crash into a house, and a pilot grounded his plane on a baseball field in Texas - what's clear is that FAA's air traffic control system is a total failure. Now FAA is engaging in spoliation of evidence, the electronic equivalent of old-fashioned Fawn Hall shredding, to delete incriminating material one step ahead of FBI and other criminal authorities who are once again on FAA's heels. FAA is a criminal enterprise.
Quiet Rockland just published a hand-hewn list of over 1,200 FAA e-mail addresses on its website - and asks that you please consider using them for your own purposes, including expressing righteous outrage to them over their failure to maintain aviation safety in this country

FAA's e-mail address formula is fairly simple. The 'minds' of FAA management are even simpler. This past weekend, FAA wanted America to "celebrate" FAA's 50th Anniversary as fostering "the safest transportation system in the history of the world". (Verbatim quote, FAA Acting Administrator Robert A. "Bobby" Sturgell, speech entitled "The Credit Goes To You", Washington, D.C., August 21, 2008).

FAA and failed Acting Administrator 'Bobby' Sturgell still persist in wanting you to believe that we are somehow in the 'safest period in aviation history'. As within the last few days, there are 10 more victimized innocent decedents in Moab, Utah whose souls will now testify exactly otherwise. FAA Acting Administrator "Bobby" Sturgell must be relieved of his post NOW. Future lives must be saved by repopulating FAA and ejecting Bobby Sturgell from office.
