Left Seater can weigh in

Post by Softball Bat »

Weigh in.

Did you get that one?

:)



Well, I guess there was a full stop for all west coast flights on Monday (1/10) -- lasting for 7 minutes.
Hasn't happened since 9/11.



Over on /r/ATC there's a thread going with pilots discussing the incident. One person shared flight strips showing
the ground stop, another says some airports stopped both IFR and VFR movement.

A couple more Twitter threads discussing the incident...

A North Korea launch took place right around the time period that this STOP was put in place.
It is unclear if that was the reason for the stop.

It seems unlikely, imo, but I dunno.

Pretty wild situation.

FAA Statement
As a matter of precaution, the FAA temporarily paused departures at some airports along the West Coast on Monday night. Full operations resumed in less than 15 minutes. The FAA regularly takes precautionary measures. We are reviewing the process around this ground stop as we do after all such events.
Well that certainly clears it up. :meds:

There is plenty of speculation out there so no need for me to add more. But the FAA and DeathCult46 need to address this today.

Per NORAD they did not issue any warnings.

They certainly should.

As mentioned, some think the stop was related to the NK projectile launch, but NK has been periodically launching things for many years and it has never provoked a flight stop.
And this launch didn't go as far east as Japan, so why would it provoke a response from the U.S. to call for a stop at many airports on the west coast?

Something else was going on and a lot of people want an answer.

Maybe all the air traffic control workers had the sniffles and needed to quarantine / blow their noses.

The NK launch is said to be the reason for the stop.




"What we're seeing here is just the normal process of coordination and communication out of which early on some decisions
were made that probably didn't need to get made," Defense Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Thursday
afternoon.
NORAD insists that it was the FAA's call to issue the ground stop and that it did not issue a warning or alert as a result of the
North Korean missile launch.
"As a matter of precaution, the FAA temporarily paused departures at some airports along the West Coast," the FAA said in a
statement on Tuesday. "The FAA regularly takes precautionary measures. We are reviewing the process around this ground
stop as we do after all such events."
The FAA did not respond to CNN's multiple requests for comment on Thursday.
