The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced on Sunday that its aviation warning system for pilots is operational again after experiencing a temporary outage on Saturday.
The system, known as the Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system, can alert pilots before they fly to closed runways, equipment outages, and other potential hazards along a flight route. The FAA said it activated a backup system during the outage, which lasted several hours.
“The NOTAM system is online and operational,” the FAA said in a statement on Feb. 2. “There were no operational impacts in the National Airspace System. We are investigating the root cause of the outage.”
