All flights across the US have been grounded due to an outage of the (Notice to Air Missions) system.

The system has some kind of impairment.

Here’s the pilot advisory.

Kevin Beaumont

For anybody tracking the thing:

- EU press use grounded to mean unable to take off. Flights in air are okay.
- Flights not already filed can’t take off unless they use phone backup. That’s overwhelmed.
- Ultimately it just means safety concerns will lead to delays and cancellations.
- There’s currently no ETA on NOTAM filing resumption.

The infrastructure to airlines appears to be Java GeoSphere.

United have stopped all take offs until 10am eastern in US.

Separately: not cyber. Source: me. A middleware system broke.

Here’s the latest on from ATCSCC.

ground stop has been lifted, system is recovering.
