The National Airspace System is getting back on track after the FAA grounded all flights when the Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system crashed the evening of Jan. 10.
According to FAA officials, the agency is “continuing a thorough review to determine the root cause of the Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system outage.”
“Our preliminary work has traced the outage to a damaged database file,” FAA officials reported. “At this time, there is no evidence of a cyber attack.”
“The FAA is working diligently to further pinpoint the causes of this issue and take all needed steps to prevent this kind of disruption from happening again,” agency officials continued.
The modernization of the Air Traffic Control system, as well as the need for more employees throughout the agency, will be at the forefront of discussions this year as the Congress undertakes FAA reauthorization in 2023.
Another “False Flag” exercise, to push for more tax dollars to expand the FAA!
What better excuse than canceled flights to prove to Congress ones worth and seek more money to perpetuate the myth of “safe skies” because of “ground control” by non-pilot trained controllers and regulation writers!
B.S. on the whole “corrupt file” excuse. Why didn’t they ground everybody all the way down to the ultralights?
What I want to know is when did “Notices to AIRMEN” became “Notice to Air Mission”, and what numskull in the FAA came up with this epic stupid PC decision? I called my congressman’s office yesterday to express my anger over this nonsense. I told them my confidence in the FAA, the people who advise me in the air, is disappearing rapidly if it is now staffed by people more concerned about words than about safety and doing a good job. Frankly, the entire aviation media and aviation alphabets should be outraged and pushing back on this. All I am hearing are crickets.
Kent, that changed about the same time they changed the “man in the cockpit” to the “person in the box” political correctness, inclusion, and woke you know.
