FAA implements safeguards to prevent NOTAM-like outages in the future

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has introduced a series of safeguards to prevent the repeat of the NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) outage that disrupted over 11,000 flights earlier this month. Per Reuters, acting FAA administrator Billy Nolen told lawmakers in a letter that the agency has made changes in its system to prevent corrupt files from damaging the backup database.
