@pbsnews: The Federal Aviation Administration said the radar at the facility in Philadelphia that directs planes in and out of Newark's airport went black for 90 seconds early Friday morning. It was the second time in two weeks that air traffic controllers there lost their radar.Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Thursday unveiled an ambitious new plan to modernize the air traffic control system aimed at improving safety and reducing delays. The overhaul would cost tens of billions of dollars and replace outdated equipment that is showing its age. Yet, the plan faces other hurdles. Geoff Bennett discussed more with aviation correspondent Miles O’Brien. #newarkairport #travel #aviation #FAA #News
i don’t work in aviation but I use copper wires every day and it’s 100% more reliable than fiber.

All these years we are giving other countries money and taking in refugees meanwhile our own infrastructure and economy fell apart

Starlink is not the answer. Do not funnel more of our tax dollars to Elon Musk. Do not let the Republicans normalize travel restrictions. Call Congress. Tell them how you are affected 202-224-3121.

So let’s gut federal dollars and then complain that it failed. It’s time for private equity to scoop it up 🤨

Do I think the system needs upgraded, sure...System conversions are difficult..I don't trust this administration to complete the upgrade successfully.

As long as it’s a system that isn’t “hackable” by an adversary, then fix it. But I don’t trust Starlink.

I am quite sure that there are very, very few companies using fiber optic to the desktop. The copper cables to the desktop or controller should be just fine.
