7. Happens Often

....I file flight plans for flights out of ATLCTR dailly for the airline I work for and in the last 4 weeks the server has dumped data 9 times....frustrating....this is what happens when your spending billions on a war that corporations are profiting off of grossly.

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Communications problems at a Federal Aviation Administration facility that processes flight plans were causing flight delays at airports across the United States Tuesday afternoon, the administration said.

The facility south of Atlanta is having problems processing data, requiring that all flight-plan information be processed through a facility in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The two facilities process all flight plans for commercial and general aviation flights in the United States, the FAA said.

The FAA said there are no radar outages and said they have not lost contact with any planes.
