Flights halted (again)

[JABIII]

A national ground stop has been issued by the FAA for all aircraft destined to any airport in Florida.

An equipment issue is forcing the Federal Aviation Administration to order a national ground stop for Airport such as Miami Fort Lauderdale.

Air traffic control centers use the computer system En Route Automation Modernization to manage aircraft in the skies. The problem Monday stems from an ERAM issue, the FAA add

The FAA indicated flights to and from six major airports in the southern half of Florida were suspended until further notice.

As of March 27, 2015, En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) has replaced the 40-year-old En Route Host computer and backup system used at 20 FAA Air Route Traffic Control Centers nationwide.

ERAM technology is the heart of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) and the pulse of the National Airspace System (NAS), helping to advance our transition from a ground-based system of air traffic control to a satellite-based system of air traffic management.

ERAM is vital to the future of air navigation, providing the foundational platform required for FAA to enable NextGen solutions, via modernization programs such as System Wide Information Management, Data Communications, and Automatic Dependent Surveillance- Broadcast.

Probably another alphabet agency being weaponized against a red state.

Things are shut down until at least 930 this morning.

Not surprising that system could be taken down. What is surprising is that the FAA doesnt have a recovery plan in place to hot swap to a functioning system.

Those SOBs need to fix that shit today. I'm supposed to fly to TX manana...

[turbo]

Yeah. This sucks.

I had to call a buddy this morning to let him know he might not be meeting us in AR in the mernin'.

[Highstrung]

I'm glad 2th is back.

Just spoke to a friend in Charlotte who was to fly out at 8. No go right now.

Funny I saw on the news the House is starting some commission on China yesterday. Today this happens….. I’m sure china is sending them a message.

The system is back up. Flights are slow to get going, but it is happening. Flights left flying over the oceans are coming in first.
This was by no means a hack or a cyber attack. The system is "antiquated" to say the least and is in the process of a major overhaul/update.
It's safe to fly.
It was wild looking at the scope and nothing being there. Very 9/11'ish

They are finally taking off from ATL and CLT...

Too much .gov in the mix...

We're turning into a third world country.

We're turning into a third world country.

You should probably visit a "third world country".

This ain't it, homie.

If Amazon loses Point of Sale servers for less than a second, the redundant bank of servers kicks in seamlessly. Hard to believe that the national flight system comes to a halt over a failed component but this is the norm throughout Federal control systems.

Lots of activity now!
