3. I have served in a temporary supervisory role at specific “area specialties” in which I supervised operations of several air traffic control sectors. I assigned and supervised personnel which required that I have basic understandings of communications and procedures required to perform all the duties required of an area of specialty including the communications flows upward to higher supervisory levels, downward to sector operations, parallel to other areas of specialty and outward to various other air traffic control facilities, including military facilities, with whom we shared many common goals.

4.As an Air Traffic Controller, Area Specialist and Facility Training Instructor, I was part of the team that upgraded the entire Air Traffic Control system into a computerized era installing and performing the upgrade training required for the use of the IBM9020 computer and its RDP [Radar Data Processing] computer programs. This enabled me to become familiar with both older analogue and modern digitized radar systems. I am familiar with how radar data is collected and how it is chosen or selected to be displayed at FAA air traffic control sectors in the ARTCC environment.

5.As an Air Traffic Controller, I have experienced the successful scrambling of military aviation assets in the assistance of an aircraft suffering an in-flight emergency. Additionally, I was peripherally involved in an aviation hijacking and directly involved in handling a US Air Carrier which reportedly had on board an altitude sensitive bomb as it transited through my airspace.

6.I have performed the duties required of me as part of the National Air Defense System working closely with Air Defense Command [the precedent organization to NORAD, the North American Air Dense system] in the operation of various War Games, low altitude Oil Burner Bombing Runs, aerial refueling, scramble and flush operations, and interceptor operations.

7.I have accumulated 1600 hours of flight time in light aircraft ascending to pilot of a third level air carrier operating small twin engined aircraft in the northeastern part of the U.S.A.

8.I have achieved the following piloting licenses:
