ATC seems like a great place to have redundancy with a starlink dish on the roof.

I thought Musk got an FAA telecom contract for Starlink back when he was effectively running the government (or at least running it into the ground)?

Well.. ATC in the north of the Uk was down today as well. Fun.

So of course if the FAA is going to put AI into the watchtowers, they're obviously going to use local AI and not rely on some random Amazon cloud infra in some middle eastern country.

right. of course, no ones going to cut corners on the safe use of AI and secure infrastructure in this administration.

If/when civilization collapses, flights will be the first thing to go

Just sayin

The UK ATC system was down again today for the second time this month. I'm no conspiracy theorist but hard to believe those two + this are 'accidents'. I believe the Netherlands has also had several issues recently.
