Narrative:

On the morning in question, data blocks were jumping and the supervisor in charge thought she witnessed a system error. I informed her that the targets were jumping and I felt that 5 mi had never been compromised. The aedp did not register a loss of sep. She however ordered an n-tap!. The n-tap was missing data, so this event was categorized a 'non-occurrence.' the remainder of the morning I reported similar losses of flight data in roughly the same area. This continued the rest of my shift, with no corrective action taken.
