FAA begins phasing out floppy disks in air traffic control
The FAA plans new displays at 435 sites by the end of 2028, replacing four 1980s-era systems.
TLDR
The new system brings equipment alerts, weather and air traffic advisories together on a digital display for controllers. The FAA has moved its installation target from September 2034 to September 2028. The Government Accountability Office has warned that the broader modernization effort lacks a comprehensive cost estimate and coordinated schedule, raising risks of disruptions and delays.
