USA: COMPUTER IN TILT E VOLI IN RITARDO


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A[/FONT]ncora in tilt il traffico aereo negli Stati Uniti, per un errore informatico rilevato in una struttura ad Atlanta, in Georgia.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Il guasto si e' verificato in un centro informatico della FAA ( Federal AviationAdministration) l'agenzia federale che controlla la sicurezza dei trasporti aerei negli Stati Uniti, ed ha interessato, in questa circostanza, i programmi di volo degli aerei in servizio su tutta la parte orientale degli USA. A causa di questa anomalia, questi dati sono passati alla gestione dell'altra struttura della FAA, a Salt Lake City, nello Utah, sovraccaricandone il lavoro e provocando cosi' ritardi in oltre 40 aeroporti. La notizia e' stata diffusa dalla portavoce della FAA, Kathleen Bergen, la quale ha aggiunto che, per il momento non si sono verificati incidenti e che la sicurezza degli aerei non e' a rischio.[/FONT]

In effetti è proprio quello che stavo pensando anch'io... mi pare un po' (molto) fuori luogo una frase simile!
 
Ho girato qualche sito USA e non ho trovato mai la parola accident o incident.
Al massimo si è detto che la sicurezza non è mai stata intaccata...non so i giornalisti (?) italiani come facciano ad inventare le notizie di sana pianta.

Poi magari si scoprirà che quella è stata la risposta ad una precisa domanda, il che potrebbe anche starci.
 
Flights delayed due to FAA problem

Airports across the country experienced major delays Tuesday after a Federal Aviation Administration facility in Georgia that processes flight plans for the Eastern U.S. developed communications problems, the FAA said.
FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen in Atlanta said that no planes were in danger and there were no safety issues involved in the communications breakdown. Officials were able to talk to pilots in the air and on the ground, she said.
Ms. Bergen said she didn't know how many flights were affected.
An FAA Web site that posts airport-status data showed delays at three-dozen major airports nationwide. It advised passengers to "check your departure airport to see if your flight may be affected."
Officials at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport said they were not seeing widespread delays or cancellations because of the FAA communications problems.
But Cheryl Stewart, spokeswoman for Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport said that the airport was experiencing some delays, the Associated Press reported.
Ms. Bergen said an FAA facility south of Atlanta experienced a glitch in its communications link that transmits flight plans to a similar facility in Salt Lake City. The Salt Lake City site then had to process the flight plans, causing the delays in planes taking off. She said there were no problems with planes landing.
"There will be flight delays," Ms. Bergen said. "It could be any location, because one facility is now processing flight data for everybody."
The Associated Press reported delays at Miami International Airport and Tampa International Airport in Florida.
A spokesman for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world's busiest airport, did not immediately return a call seeking comment on the impact there.

Flights back to normal after FAA software glitch

ATLANTA (AP) - The FAA said that most flights around the country were back to normal Wednesday, after a software malfunction delayed hundreds of flights on Tuesday.
The flight delays drew new criticism for the Federal Aviation Administration, which has been scrutinized over air traffic controller staffing levels and inspection standards for its ground-based equipment.
The Northeast was hardest hit by the delays prompted by a glitch at a Hampton, Ga., facility that processes flight plans for the eastern half of the U.S.
The FAA said the source of the computer software malfunction was a "packet switch" that "failed due to a database mismatch."
Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, said the episode "once again highlights the need to reform and repair a broken system." His Democratic rival, Sen. Barack Obama, said "airline passengers are sick and tired of delays and cancellations." And the nonprofit Travel Industry Association called it "one more example of America's deteriorating air travel system."
The FAA, for its part, said it would work to make sure the problem does not happen again.
FAA spokeswoman, Kathleen Bergen in Atlanta, said there were no safety issues and officials were still able to speak to pilots on planes on the ground and in the air.
According to the FAA, 646 flights were delayed as a direct result of the problem. In a 24-hour period the FAA processes more than 300,000 flight plans in the U.S., the agency said.
Bergen said the problem that occurred Tuesday afternoon involved a failure in a communication link that transmits flight plan data from the Georgia facility to a similar facility in Salt Lake City.
As a result, the Salt Lake City facility was having to process those flight plans, causing delays in planes taking off. She said the delays were primarily affecting departing flights. FAA spokeswoman Diane Spitaliere said there were some problems with arriving flights as well.
During an early evening conference call with reporters, Spitaliere said Tuesday's glitch appeared to be a software problem and the situation was returning to normal. The Hampton facility began processing flight plans again as of 1:15 a.m. Wednesday, Bergen said.
As of Tuesday evening, airports in Chicago were still experiencing 30-minute delays, while delays of 60 minutes were seen in Atlanta, which also dealt with weather issues. Bergen said those delays were cleared up as of Wednesday morning.
Bergen said there was an unrelated hardware problem at the Hampton facility on Aug. 21 that resulted in issues processing flight plans. The FAA says on its Web site that a glitch that day involving the Hampton facility delayed the departure of at least 134 flights.
A spokesman for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world's busiest airport, did not return a call seeking comment on the impact there from Tuesday's episode. Bergen said officials at the Atlanta airport were entering flight data manually to try to speed things up.
Discount carrier AirTran Airways, which has its hub at the Atlanta airport, said in a statement that because of the suburban FAA center snafu it was at one point taking up to an hour for the FAA to get clearances to the towers for departures Tuesday. Delta Air Lines Inc., which has its main hub in Atlanta, said flights were processing for takeoff, but slowly.
The communication failure caused delays for departures and arrivals at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, according to airport spokeswoman Cheryl Stewart. However, she did not have a number on delays.
The FAA at one point asked that no new flight plans be filed, Stewart said.
Phil Orlandella, a spokesman for Massport, which operates Boston's Logan International Airport, said there were significant delays there, but the situation eased up by Tuesday evening.
The National Airspace Data Interchange Network is a data communications system for air traffic controllers. It's used to distribute flight plans and allows controllers to know when planes are leaving, where they're going and other details.
Allen Kenitzer, a western regional spokesman for the FAA, said the Utah system could handle the extra load while workers tried to get the Atlanta area system back online, but it was expected to slow down air traffic.
"We're not going to let an unsafe condition exist. It's just going to be slower," Kenitzer said.

E perchè?? incidente mica significa solo disastro aereo! può esserci anche un inconveniente causato dal software aeroportuale.

ICAO definitions for aircraft accidents and serious incidents
Accident. An occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which takes place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight until such time as all such persons have disembarked, in which:

a) a person is fatally or seriously injured as a result of:

being in the aircraft, or
direct contact with any part of the aircraft, including parts which have become detached from the aircraft, or
direct exposure to jet blast,
except when the injuries are from natural causes, self-inflicted or inflicted by other persons, or when the injuries are to stowaways hiding outside the areas normally available to the passengers and crew; or

b) the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure which:

adversely affects the structural strength, performance or flight characteristics of the aircraft, and
would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component,

except for engine failure or damage, when the damage is limited to the engine, its cowlings or accessories; or for damage limited to propellers, wing tips, antennas, tires, brakes, fairings, small dents or puncture holes in the aircraft skin; or

c) the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible.

Note 1. For statistical uniformity only, an injury resulting in death within thirty days of the date of the accident is classified as a fatal injury by ICAO.

Note 2. An aircraft is considered to be missing when the official search has been terminated and the wreckage has not been located.

Serious incident. An incident involving circumstances indicating that an accident nearly occurred.

Note 1. The difference between an accident and a serious incident lies only in the result.

Note 2. ICAO examples of serious incidents can be found in Attachment B.
