Air traffic controllers operate aircraft at New Jersey, Airports, Airports, lost their radar for the second time on Friday morning, renewing concerns over the country’s old aircraft traffic control system that wants to overholate President Donald Trump.
The Federal Aviation Administration has reported that the radar at Philadelphia’s facility indicates planes inside and outside the Newark Airport, which turned black for 90 seconds on Friday at 3:55 am on Friday. This is similar to what happened on April 28.
Hundreds of aircraft were canceled or delayed at the Newark Airport within the last two weeks after the traffic was reduced to the FAA airport to ensure security as a result of this first radar conflict. Five controllers also went on vacation after the conflict, worsening the existing deficit. It is not clear whether a additional controller will go on vacation now.
The FAA in the Newark has been canceled after limited traffic and the number of delays spreads and has been high since then. FAA is planning to talk to all the airlines flying outside of the net on the cutting of their schedule while continuing the FAA employees and technology problems.
On Friday morning, the number of cancellations decreased by about 5 departure and arrival, but after the radar conflict and a disruption related to the ongoing runway construction. At the end of the day, 685 departure and the departments were canceled in the network and more than 5 delay were reported.
The White House Press Secretary Karolin Levit said at a briefing on Friday that “this morning Newark at Glich” was due to the same issues like last week.
Lavet says the latest neurck problems strengthened the requirements of transportation secretary Shan Duffy for multiple-billion dollars. The plan is designed to prevent these national problems and to give the regulators modern technology. More than 4,600 new high-speed connections will be installed and 618 radars will be replaced across the country.
A passenger jet and an army helicopter on Washington DC killed 67 67 people this year in several other accidents this year, in which the officials developed a plan to promote the system after a deadly middle clash in January.
However, the error in the air traffic control system has been known for decades. The National Transport Protection Board has not determined that any problem in the air traffic control system has caused the accident near the Reagan National Airport.
This radar disruption in this national crowded skyline is important because the second is important, but Captain Dennis Tajar, a spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association, said, “This is not an upcoming disaster that anyone is suggesting.”
“The system is wire to run really well when the system is effective but the most important part is that the things are ready to work if the things are wrong,” said Taja. “Even when it seems scary, even know that air traffic controllers and pilots have training and we go to it.”
When the pilots lose contact with the controllers, their first action is to continue their last directed path, but if the outage continues, the pilots will start broadcasting their position near each aircraft in the area-such as small airports, such as control towers.
US Rep. He said at a press conference on Friday that about 20 controllers were currently working and this number should be in the 60s. And many lines of attaching controllers on the radar are the old copper cables. He said that on April 25, the copper cable was caused by a fried.
“Our region is a key economic arterial artery for our country he said that this tower was built in 1973 in the” The Brady Bunch Age “.
The FAA said earlier this week that it was installing new fiber optic data lines to carry radar signals between Philadelphia and New York. Officials said some lines connected to these two benefits will be replaced by the old copper cable. However, it is not clear how quickly these repairs can be completed.
New York’s US Sen Chowk Shumar says it is important to find problems to rapidly affect the FAA’s Newark Airport.
“Enough enough. The connection between the New York Air Space and Philadelphia Air Traffic Control Center must be fixed now. The backup system must fix what is not working. Now,” Summer said. “This is an Air Travel Protection Emergency that requires instant and decisionful action, not a big, beautiful unexpected overhole promise that will take years to start implementing.”
