Experience |
Ms. O’Krongley has a varied aviation
background with practical experience in Airport Noise Compatibility Planning
and Airport Operations. Her project
work has included NAVAIDS Planning Services for George Bush Intercontinental
Airport, Category II/III and SMGCS coordination for William P. Hobby Airport,
formulation of Ramp Rules of Operations and Security Plan necessary as a
result of the realignment and joint use of Kelly AFB, and assisting with the
FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Programs for Arnold Palmer Regional Airport
in Westmoreland, Pennsylvania. She is
currently working on the FAR Part 150 Update for Little Rock National Airport
and is assisting with the Master Plan for William P. Hobby Airport in
Houston, Texas. Prior to joining Ricondo & Associates, Inc., Ms. O’Krongley was the airport representative for the FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study and associated Airport Noise Programs for San Antonio International Airport. In that capacity, she coordinated architects, consultants, and engineers while managing the implementation of the Airport’s Part 150, a residential sound insulation pilot program, and the ground run-up enclosure. Ms. O’Krongley was extensively involved with the public participation and community involvement inherent in a Part 150 Study where she fielded complaints, analyzed areas of concern, maintained detailed statistics, and provided presentations to various public interest and official groups. She was also involved with airspacing issues surrounding the relocation of ASOS equipment as a preliminary component to the ground run-up enclosure. Prior to her role involving airport noise
programs, Ms. O’Krongley provided on-site management for the day-to-day
operations at San Antonio International Airport and was responsible for the
research, design, and implementation of the airfield driver’s training and
emergency response programs. She was
also responsible for the oversight of airfield and terminal building
construction sites, in addition to ensuring compliance with necessary federal
regulations and safety procedures.
This experience provided practical knowledge of airport security, for
both terminal and airside operations.
Combined with her pilot’s license, this airfield experience has given
Ms. O’Krongley a broad range of experience in airport management and has
allowed her the basis for understanding the needs of airlines and airport
users in an efficient and realistic manner. Ms. O’Krongley also was an Adjunct Professor
for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University at Embry-Riddle’s Randolph AFB
campus where she instructed graduate-level students in aviation disciplines,
specifically Airport Operations, Safety and Security. |
