Found this for you. CNN — Flights across the US could experience “residual delays” Sunday morning as the Federal Aviation Administration works to restore a critical warning system that experienced an outage Saturday night, according to Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy.
“The primary NOTAM system is experiencing a temporary outage, but there is currently no impact to the National Airspace System because a backup system is in place,” he wrote on X, adding that the agency activated contingency systems to continue flight operations.
“The (FAA) is working to fully restore the system, and there may be some residual delays tomorrow morning,” he wrote. “We are investigating the root cause and we will provide updates.” As of early Sunday morning, there were more than 360 delayed flights within, into or out of the US, and 59 cancellations, according to flight tracker FlightAware.
NOTAM, which stands for Notice to Air Missions, is a computer system that sends alerts to pilots about conditions that could affect the safety of their flights. That could include information about lights being out on a certain runway, or a tower near an airport not having the required safety lights working, or an air show taking place in the air space nearby.

Don’t Fly!!! Boycott flying. That is one BIG way "we the people” can express our power, we can put on the pressure. Money talks.
Unfortunately, some of us have to travel for work. When the destination is a 16 hour drive away, it’s not possible to boycott flying.
Americans need to stop flying on any American flight. Too dangerous. Consider this as similar to pandemic and stay off planes.
