		<title>A Long Overdue ERAM Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since my last entry and although I&#8217;ve had plenty to write about, I&#8217;ve been enjoying the summer here in Minnesota that will inevitably end all too soon. But I did want to write an update on the status of the FAA&#8217;s...]]></description>

		<title>More Grand FAA/DOT Schemes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are lots of people in the government whose job it is to make sure that they can create work for themselves and thus justify their job existence.  The Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has its share of these employees, as...]]></description>

		<title>Protection from ERAM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We know that the new En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) computer program is still full of bugs. The ERAM software is the program that is supposed to replace the FAA&#8217;s HOST computer that currently runs its enroute controllers&#8217; radar displays and processes flight plan information....]]></description>

		<title>Another FAA Safety Program</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always alleged that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is more concerned with the appearances of being a safety oriented organization than actually acting like one. The FAA tends to talk a good game when it comes to safety but then often fails to take...]]></description>

		<title>Ignoring the Rules</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the arrival of summer and convective weather air traffic controllers have to separate aircraft in the chaos resulting from aircraft deviating around weather. Normally aircraft are all on filed routes, so controllers know exactly where they&#8217;re going.  They keep the airplanes apart based on...]]></description>

		<title>ERAM Under the Radar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since my last entry, mostly because all has been pretty quiet on the En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) front, at least at my facility (Minneapolis ARTCC or ZMP), and I&#8217;ve been otherwise occupied with other summer projects. As you may know...]]></description>

		<title>ERAM Problems No Longer a Secret</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In spite of the FAA&#8217;s attempts to keep their ongoing problems with their En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) program under wraps, there are those that have taken notice. The Department of Transportation Inspector General (DOT IG), Calvin L. Scovel III, testifed before the House Subcommittee...]]></description>

		<title>We Apologize for the Delay (in ERAM)&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the time being, the FAA&#8217;s En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) usage on live traffic is on hold pending what the FAA is calling a &#8220;review&#8221; of the program. Early in the week of March 22, the FAA finally gave in to pressure to stop...]]></description>

		<title>About Time, or Better Late Than Never</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The FAA is finally taking a break from its thoughtless, irresponsible and reckless pursuit of testing its next generation enroute air traffic control display software on the flying public. Within the last few days, apparently the FAA has decided to stop running the new software...]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;ve Been ERAMmed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the event people are visiting to see more updates on En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM), I&#8217;ll try and make this short. ERAM, the replacement computer/display system for enroute center controllers, is still experiencing problems and the FAA continues to use it on live air...]]></description>
