The acting head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will testify on Feb. 15 before the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee on a Jan. 11 computer system outage that disrupted more than 11,000 U.S. flights, sources told Reuters.
Nolen told lawmakers that attempts to restore those files contributed to the outage and since then the FAA had adopted a one-hour delay in synchronizing databases that should prevent data errors from immediately reaching the backup database.
The FAA also said it "now requires at least two individuals to be present during the maintenance of the NOTAM system, including one federal manager." The NOTAM System consists of two interdependent systems, the legacy U.S. NOTAM System, which is 30 years old, and the newer Federal NOTAM System. The primary database and a backup database are located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and two additional backup databases are in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The FAA began modernizing the NOTAM system in 2019 "and is scheduled to discontinue the legacy U.S. NOTAM System by mid-2025. Phase two of the NOTAM system modernization is planned to be completed in 2030," the letter said.
