The Federal Aviation Administration on Monday confirmed a fourth radio outage at Newark Liberty International Airport.
This time the outage lasted about 2 seconds.
CNN reported:
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating another radio outage at the troubled air traffic approach control facility responsible for flights approaching and departing Newark Liberty International Airport.
The Newark terminal radar approach control facility, also known as Philadelphia TRACON Area C, experienced a radio outage for approximately two seconds around 11:35 a.m. Monday, the FAA said.
All aircraft remained safely separated and operations are normal, the agency said, adding it is investigating.
Earlier this month Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy ripped Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg after an alarming radar outage at Newark Airport.
United Airlines pulled 35 round-trip flights a day following a radar outage at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey last week.
Air traffic controllers recently lost communication with planes flying in and out of Newark for about 90 seconds.
National Air Traffic Controllers Association told Bloomberg News that Newark “temporarily lost radar and communications with the aircraft under their control, unable to see, hear, or talk to them.”
“Air traffic controllers guiding planes bound for Newark Liberty International Airport lost radar and radio communication for more than a minute early last week before flights at the key hub were snarled for days, according to people familiar with the matter,” Bloomberg reported.
“The outage of those key systems occurred on April 28 and lasted nearly 90 seconds, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing the matter because it isn’t public. Following the incident, multiple employees were placed on trauma leave, the people said,” Bloomberg reported.
United grounded flights after an air traffic controller said Newark is “not safe.”
Biden’s DEI Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg did nothing to fix the antiquated air traffic control system even though he was given billions of dollars to handle the problem.
Buttigieg couldn’t even fix the potholes when he was a small town mayor of South Bend, Indiana, so it is no surprise that he did not thing to improve the air traffic control system.
Secretary Duffy blasted Buttigieg and Biden for doing nothing to fix the air traffic control equipment.
“What did they do? Nothing! Instead they spent their time focused on changing the name of ‘cockpit’ to ‘flight deck,’” Duffy said.
WATCH:
Buttigieg & Biden knew the air traffic control system was antiquated. They saw the government watchdog reports warning the system was aging.
