Flights Across US Grounded Due to FAA Computer Failure

Description

Flights across the United States were grounded today after a computer glitch was reported to the computers of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). An advisory from the US Air Traffic Control Systems Command Center (ATSCC) said, "Technicians are currently working to restore the system and there is no estimate for restoring the system at that time." The United States NOTAM (Notice to Air Mission) system failed in 2028Z.

Cleared Update No. 2 for all stakeholders: ⁰⁰The FAA is still working to fully restore the Notice to Air Missions system following an outage. ⁰⁰While some functions are beginning to come back on line, National Airspace System operations remain limited.

The FAA is working to restore its Notice to Air Missions System. We are performing final validation checks and reloading the system now.

Operations across the National Airspace System are affected.

We will provide frequent updates as we make progress.
