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."

LGA 50 minute arrival delays.
90 minute departure delays (increasing)
Inbound flights all grounded at point of origin.
Trump and/or Global Warming to blame.
Does the Federal Aviation Administration still use 486 computers or have they moved up to Pentium now
Air Missions?
and not Airmen?
May I suggest NOTAMAMWV, for Notice to Airmen and Airmen with Vaginas?
Thanks
What happened to their failover systems?
I really have no idea what people are talking about. The flight paths and landings are completely unaffected.
Been following this at the airport and on flightaware.
Check it out.
Continues to be a very low volume of traffic.
Check out Flordia for instance, or the UPS and Fed-X hubs.

Now, the pathetic reality of a gubmint that's gone completely 'politically correct'. Fisheries and Oceans Canada, a department of FedGouvCan (which I prefer to call FO Canaduh because of how True-dolt treats conservative Canadians), now refers to 'fishermen' as 'Fish Harvesters'.
We are so screwed. Canaduh is so screwed.
Fer crying out loud, rest assured the reason for shutting down the whole system had nothing to do with a notam outage.
Our government is a lie. All of it. Believe nothing from it.
Lol. You’re familiar with the digital ATIS! “ Notice to air missions”. Or “ “Information Wilky”.
