Investigators probing the serious UK air traffic control system failure in August last year have detailed the flightplan waypoint confusion which triggered the incident.Over 700,000 passengers were affected by the failure of UK air navigation service NATS flightplan processing system. This forced controllers to revert to manual processing, leading to more <a href=https://www.stanley-cup.com.de>stanley cup becher</a> than 1,500 flight cancellations and delaying hundreds of services which did operate.According to an independent panels review of the occurrence, the UKs Swa <a href=https://www.stanley-cup-website.us>stanley us</a> nwick area control centre had received a flightplan from French Bee flight BF371 鈥?oper <a href=https://www.stanley-cup-website.us>stanley us</a> ating from Los Angeles to Paris Orly 鈥?at around 08:32 on 28 August.The aircrafts route took it through US, Canadian and North Atlantic oceanic airspace before passing over the UK and entering France.Its flightplan had initially been forwarded to pan-European air navigation organisation Eurocontrol for processing. This involved converting the flightplan file to a standard European format, and adding supplementary waypoints, before passing it to relevant air traffic control providers including NATS.NATS uses a subsystem called FPRSA-R for automated flightplan reception, and one of its tasks is to extract the portion of the flightplan covering UK airspace entry and exit.The FPRSA-R primary system identified the entry point as waypoint APSOV, which lies on the boundary between Shanwick oceanic airspace and the Scottish flight information region.Show FullscreenSource: ICAO map data with Fli Vrfb AI made its way to vineyards.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the independent presidential candidate who suspended his campaign last week聽and endorsed former President Donald Trump, has withdrawn his name from the Maine ballot ahead of the November election.A spokesperson for Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said Tuesday that Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist and environmental lawyer, withdrew ahead of a 5 p.m. deadline. Kennedy, the son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, initially聽entered the presi <a href=https://www.stanleycup.com.se>stanley termosar</a> dential race in April 2023 as a Democrat challenging Preside <a href=https://www.stanley-cups-uk.uk>stanley quencher</a> nt Joe Biden before switching聽to an independent bid last fall. Kennedy said Friday he no longer saw a path to victory and hours later joined Trump for a rally in Arizona. Kennedy also said he would seek to remove his name from <a href=https://www.cup-stanley.de>stanley isolierkanne</a> ballots in about 10 unspecified battleground states, though varying deadlines and rules may complicate that.Maine has ranked-choice voting in presidential elections, so Kennedys presence on the ballot was expected to have only limited effects on the race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, who replaced Biden atop the ticket after his disastrous June debate. Harris has a slight lead over Trump聽in most national polls.Harris has also led聽Trump in Maine, which splits two of its four electoral votes by congressional district.
