Speaker Explains
CAA Operations
The progress, problems and
plans of the Civil Aeronautics Ad
ministration in its 20 years of ex
istence, was brought before the
Rotary Club members Tuesday in
a speech by Chet J. Sobczyk, of
the Regional office, Air Traffic
Control >of the CAA at Anchorage.
The speaker traced the history
of th CAA since it came into be
ing with the enactment of the law
creating the agency in 1938. The
slogan, the said, of the anniver
sary observance is “Project 20/
20,” which stands for “Twenty
years ©i progress, devotion and
service, and looking ahead, with
vision unlimited, to the next 20
bf even greater achievement.”
The emphasis has been on safe
ty, the shaker stated. He pointed
out with pride that not one mid
air collision sustained in years
past has oeen attributed to negli
gence or faulty judgement on the
part of CAA personnel. There are
27 air route traffic control cen
ters throughout the country. Con
trollers assign a pilot his altitude
for a flight along the airways,
keeps other pilots safely separat
ed from him, and pass him op to
the next center when he leaves
their area. At his destination the
Center turns him over to Tower
which directs his approach and
landing.
Sobczyk pointed out the total
annual cost for the CAA program
is $86 million, which he felt was
low indeed for such p arogram. An
Airways Modernization Board was
established last year, which con
siders the airport needs of every
community, extending runways
and facilities where needed to
meet the requirements of jet air
craft and bigger, speedier air
planes, “Air traffic control has
just begun,” the speaker conclud
ed.
Guests attending were Bob Mil
ler and Dr. Bruce Keers.
