Скачать или смотреть Flights grounded nationwide amid critical FAA system failure

Flights were grounded across the country amid an FAA system failure that impacted airports Wednesday morning.

The Federal Aviation Administration, which is responsible for air travel regulations, confirmed through an advisory that its "NOTAM" system went offline shortly after 11 p.m. Eastern.

The NOTAM system is designed to provide pilots and air traffic controllers with critical information as it develops, including changes in weather or conditions at a certain airport.

The information in NOTAM advisories can be hundreds of pages for some flights, containing details about runway closures, bird hazards or low-altitude obstacles in a flight path.

It's unclear what happened to the system or when it will be restored.
