Senior Engineer/Scientist, Lead Engineer, Program Manager, Boeing Avionics/Flight Control System Technology, Boeing CNS/ATM, and Boeing Air Traffic Management BATM) 1981-2003. Airplanes: Part of the team member of the avionics flight control systems technology, participated in the design, linear analysis, real-time nonlinear simulation test/validation, flight test, and some of the FAA certification flight tests of the B767-200, -300, -300ER, B757-200, B747-400 airplanes automatic flight controls and flight director system(AFDS), 1981-1988. There were numerous challenges with certification, such as alternate short-term designs, Monte Carlo design/run-of-flight conditions, and being on call 7/24 for months; After the completion the team was cited with an appreciation certificate by the VP of the Boeing Commercial Airplane Company; Problem-solving after delivery: United # 1 B767-200, tail wiggle (see list of the Publications); Program Manager of the Boeing/NASA/FAA Air Transportation Operational Research Study (ATOPS) contract with a $18B budget on CNS/ATM for NASA Langley Research Center.

Studied the history of initial runway separation standards from the 1950s to the present with FAA and ICAO standards, at ORD, DFW, LAX, ATL, JFK, SFO, and MSP airports, learned the ATC operations, collected the statistics, and how it evolved from 5000 ft to 4300, and 3400 for IFR operation. Conducted statistical/Monte Carlo simulation risk analysis for 3000 ft and 2500 ft separation criteria. The report NASA Technical Report 191549 is known internationally, and set new standards for building/modifying airports with Closely Spaced Parallel Runway separations (CSPRS); Airports: Principal investigator on FAA/NASA ATOPS project Parallel Runways Requirements; The NASA Technical Report 191549 became one of the main references on safety CSPRS proposed the third runway of the SeaTac public hearings in the 1990s; In various tasks have worked with the major airports in the US: JFK, ORD, AID, LGA, LAX, SFO, SEA, EWR, MSP, and with AMS FRA, and LHR airports in Europe and Nubrivistic airports in Russia; Have worked on airport capacity and delay evaluation/assessment, operation alteration/revision, major runway(s) addition/alteration noise abatement, and emission control issues. 1988-1998; In 1996-8, Boeing launched the B767-400 program, and Delta Airlines, the kick-off customer conditioned the deal that the B767-400 aircraft could operate from the New York LaGuardia(LGA ) airport. LGA airport due to short runway length, runway/taxiway separation, and taxiway width was off-limits for B767-400ER operations. In fact, LGA, and PANY&NJ, owner of the LGA, and FAA had rejected an earlier request from the Airbus Industries for a smaller A300 airplane operation at LGA because of its size limitation; Later in 1996 was assigned by the Boeing VP of Engineering to pursue getting the approval of FAA for B767-400ER operations at LGA). At the first meeting with FAA HQ, ALPA, PANY&NJ, and the LGA manager, the FAA flatly denied Boeings request. During next meeting, at my suggestion, a committee was formed to oversee the safety issues of B767-400ER operations at LGA through the development of a complex airport surface movement simulation. I was designated as project manager working with the FAA, New York LGA airport authority, and Delta Airlines pilot association to simulate the safety of operation of the B767-400 at that airport. Project completed in August 2000 1997-2000; Was cited with a certificate and a financial reward from Boeing for this achievement; The development of B767-400 was delayed and the Delta Airline never flew from the LGA to Fort Lauderdale Florida due to the 9/11 terrorist attack in New York; At Boeing as another part of my assignments became the trainer of the Boeing flight operation engineering software tools for government agencies. Through these activities prepared/gathered many short notes/charts/statistical data and reports of performance data for B777, B747-400, B737-300, -400, -700, MD-80, and MD-11 airplanes from performance engineering documents, AFDS, AFCT manuals, INFLIGHT/ REPORT and OPAL software.
