The United States was facing another major aviation disruption on Wednesday as the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a halt to all domestic flight departures after the system providing pilots with pre-flight safety notices went offline.

The FAA said in a statement it had ordered airlines to pause all domestic departures until 9 a.m. Eastern Time while it tried to restore its NOTAMS -- or Notice to Air Missions -- system.

"We are performing final validation checks and repopulating the system now," an earlier FAA statement said. "Operations across the National Airspace System are affected. We will provide frequent updates as we make progress."

It’s cavu over the entire US. Any pertainate issues can be issued to aircraft by atc. Shutting down the whole system for notam outage is a complete lack of common sense. Kinda like having a queer in charge if DOT.

Someone needs to be fired for this stupidity

Wasn’t this the NOtice To Air Men (NOTAM) system?

No can do…

This is Putin’s fault.

Or this was a test of the system to bring a ground stop, practice for something bigger?

I just looked at Newark on FlightAware almost no activity arrivals or departures.

JFK a few arrivals, no departures at all.

Clear the skies for unexpected air traffic.
