The figures initially indicated that 700 flights had been disrupted, then the number rose to a thousand, and in less than an hour the number had reached more than 2,500 flights, and most of these flights were postponed, while 141 flights were been cancelled, and these numbers are expected to increase.
And she said United States Federal Aviation Administration The matter is due to a technical flaw in the system (NOTAM), which works to warn pilots of potential dangers along the flight path.
The system is called (NOTAM) for (Notice to Air Missions), and can be translated as"Flight mission warning".
The US Federal Aviation Administration website details the system: "Contains background information for aircrews, as it shows abnormal conditions in components of US airspace, as well as normal conditions".
In particular, the system contains:
- Real-time update of normal and abnormal conditions in US airspace.
- Information on any changes to facilities, services, procedures and danger in the airspace.
- The system uses a special language that makes communication more effective.
The US Aviation Administration has two versions of this system, one for pilots and one for airports, and they work together to identify common problems and best practices.
For example, the pilot must check 25 nautical miles either side of the entire flight path to ensure a clear view of all aircraft flying in that area.
This means that in the absence or malfunction of this system, the pilot will not be able to detect the dangers that may surround him.

And little by little information began to arrive and the numbers on the technical malfunction that affected the system that helps pilots in flight began to rise. AmericaWithout it, flying would be impossible.
