Does this include the air traffic controllers?
I’m assuming so but I don’t know what I’m talking about most of the time.
Yes,,,it’s their system...this is very bad if it stays down...
The air traffic controllers don’t use computers - they still use the abacus.
Living in Stamford, CT, it seems as if there aren’t any air traffic controllers. That five mile buffer aircraft are supposed to have? It LOOKS like it’s reduced to about a mile.
Air Traffic Control computers are under the control of the Federal Aviation Administration. If FAA computers are “down” it could affect air traffic control computers. There are back-up systems and voice communication but the failure of FAA computers could caus trouble.
