I wonder if the computer malfunction is related to the big solar storms of recent days? Best wishes, OAG Tom

The Federal Aviation Administration announced shortly before 9 a.m. Eastern that air traffic operations were resuming at airports across the United States, following an overnight outage of the agency’s Notice to Air Missions system, which provides safety information to flight crews. The FAA had previously ordered U.S. carriers to temporarily halt all domestic flight departures as it worked to fix the technical outage, which caused nationwide travel disruptions. The FAA said its Notice to Air Missions system, or NOTAMs — which issues notices to flight personnel — had “failed,” affecting operations “across the National Airspace System.” About 1:30 p.m. Eastern, the flight tracking website FlightAware recorded nearly 8,000 delayed flights within, into or out of the United States, while 1,188 had been canceled. Here’s what to know Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the outage has been resolved, a nationwide ground-stop has ended and that officials were looking into the root cause of the problem. The White House said “there is no evidence” that a cyberattack caused the technical outage . President Biden was briefed on the failures of the NOTAMs system and directed the Department of Transportation to investigate its causes.It was not clear what caused the glitch. After the system failed, “no new NOTAMs or amendments have been processed,” the FAA said. Two key Republican lawmakers in the House vowed to seek accountability and changes at the FAA in the wake of the system failure. washingtonpost.com
