Aviation authority says technicians working to restore system that alerts pilots about hazards or changes at airports
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) system that alerts pilots and other flight personnel about hazards or any changes to airport facility services and relevant procedures was not processing updated information, the civil aviation regulator’s website showed on Wednesday.
In an advisory, the FAA said its Notam (Notice to Air Missions) system had “failed”. There was no immediate estimate for when it would be back, the website showed, though Notams issued before the outage were still viewable.
