      I supported the FAA's Capstone Program in Southeast Alaska. I worked closely with the Capstone equipment and installation contractors to successfully install GPS Navigation and Primary Flight Display avionics onto 170 Part 135 aircraft. After the equipment was installed it was my responsibility to work with the maintenance departments of each participating air carrier to maintain the Capstone avionics installed on their aircraft.

      Staff Systems Engineer

      I am a contractor at the FAA's ADS-B Program specializing in ADS-B for General Aviation Aircraft. I assist Repair Stations and aircraft owners with their ADS-B Installations providing Performance Reports which describe in detail the data being broadcast by a particular ADS-B installation and, if the data are non-compliant, I provide likely causes for the anomalies and advice for bringing the system into compliance.
