FAA chief 'infuriated' by sleeping air traffi shoe

Atlanta (CNN) -- Top officials from the Federal Aviation Administration and the air traffic controllers' union kicked off a cross-country tour of air traffic control facilities on Monday, two days after a seventh reported case this year of a controller falling asleep on the job.

FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt and Paul Rinaldi, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, are expected to hold a series of meetings about safety and professionalism. Their first stop was at a radar facility in the Atlanta area.

"None of us in this business can tolerate any of this," Babbitt said of the sleeping controllers. "It absolutely has to stop. ... One mistake is one too many."

This "will not be tolerated," he insisted. "We run the safest system in the world," but these incidents have "cast a cloud."

Inside the life of an air traffic controller

Babbitt described himself as "infuriated" after learning about the lapses.

"Any time (there) is less than perfection, we have issues," Rinaldi added.

"It's a very big concern," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Monday. "We will do better."

Federal officials announced a series of new regulations Saturday aimed at preventing air traffic controllers from falling asleep while on duty.

Among other things, controllers now must have a minimum of nine hours off between shifts, instead of the current minimum of eight hours. In addition, controllers can no longer be put on an unscheduled midnight shift following a day off.

If the shift from eight to nine hours isn't enough, "then obviously we'll take that into consideration," LaHood said. But it's up to the controllers "to take personal responsibility" and get adequate rest during their down time, he said.

FAA managers will also schedule their own shifts in a way to ensure greater coverage in the early morning and late night hours, the secretary noted over the weekend.

On Saturday, the FAA suspended an air traffic controller for sleeping on the job at the Miami Air Route Traffic Control Center.

According to a preliminary review of air traffic tapes, the controller did not miss any calls from aircraft, and there was no operational impact, the agency said in a statement. The incident was reported to a manager by another controller, the FAA said. There were 12 controllers and two managers on duty at the time.

Last week, the head of the FAA Air Traffic Organization, Hank Krakowski, resigned over the uproar caused by the recent spate of incidents. David Grizzle, the FAA's chief counsel, has been named acting chief of the unit.

Will NextGen air traffic overhaul make us safer?

Aside from Miami, cases of sleeping controllers have been reported in Washington; Knoxville,shoes, Tennessee; Seattle and Reno, Nevada. There have been two suspected cases in Lubbock, Texas.

All of the incidents occurred during controllers' midnight shifts. Most of the lapses occurred at local control towers.

In at least one incident, the FAA has said, the controller deliberately went to sleep, while some of the others appear to have been accidental.

Soild Stae Drives In Windows 7 Solid styate drievs (SSDs) will deliver higher performance, superior battery life, inceased ruggednses, faster strtup times, additrional consistent responsiveness, and vibration and noise reductions. With costrs slowly droppng and quality improving, it will be exppected that a growimng range of computers to be sold with SSDs instead of latest HDDs.Current SSDs still have some problems with disk flusdhes and disk writtes. Windows 7 tends to perform efficiently on laytest SSDs, in half, as a result of Winmdows seveen implements many engineering developments to lower the freuency of flushes and writees. This advantages typical HDDs similraly, but is very helpful on these days’s soklid starte drives.Windows 7 will not use disk defragmentation on solid state drives. As a result of they perform very well on rndom scan functions, defragmenting files isn't helpul enouygh to warrant the extra disk writing defragmentation process. Be default, Windows 7 disable ReaddyBoost, Superfetch, also application launch and boot prefetching on solid state drives that have acceptable random browse, random flush and werite performance. Thse technologies were conjointly meant to enhace performance on contemporary HDDs, wheere random scan performance may easliy be a significant bottleneck. Since solid state drves tend to perrform well when the OS's partitions are made with the SSD’s alignment requirewments in mind, each partition-making tool in Windows 7 psition newly created partitions in step with the proper alignment.Bound SSD makers embvrace memory in their devices to mimic the behvaior of up to date disks by cachnig writes, and maybe also reads. For drivves that perform cache writes and reads in volatiel memmory, usually, Windows 7 needs that write-ordering and flush commands to be preserved just like with standard obnerous drives. Additionally, Windows 7 requires that user settnigs that disallow write-caching to be obeyed by any writre-caching solid state drrives just as they're with typical laborious drives. Whereas SSDs do have huge advantages over typical HDDs, SSDs are more expensive per GB than their HDD cousins.
