💾 FAA to eliminate floppy disks used in air traffic control systems - Windows 95 also being phased out • Tom's Hardware

｢ Duffy said that the Transportation Department aims to complete the project within four years. However, industry experts say this timeline is unrealistic. No matter how long it takes, it’s high time that the FAA upgrades the ATC system today after decades of neglect ｣

It's great that the FAA is finally retiring floppy disks and Windows 95 from air traffic control systems.

But replacing outdated tech with cloud-connected systems massively increases the attack surface. Higher efficiency and more cyber risk.

Is this really the system we should rely on for life-critical flights?

"The Trump admin is spending ~$2.1M to investigate whether DEI causes plane crashes. Trump might be disappointed with the findings."

I obtained the “scope of work” doc for the investigation -marked “privileged” & “confidential" -shows how his accusations translate into taxpayer-funded govt action🚨+reveals cost of: admin’s fixation on #DEI at a time when the #FAA is struggling to hire & retain ATCs..

How much taxpayer💰has Trump wasted since 1/20?

"The strangest thing of all is that the #FAA appears to have brought the problem on itself — thanks in part to endemic #government issues such as underfunding and #bureaucracy but also to the agency’s track record of bad #riskManagement when it comes to modern technology."

The danger ⚠️ zone for the next #Starship test flight has been almost doubled. The #FAA justifies this expansion of the danger zone with an “updated flight safety analysis” and the fact that #SpaceX will be reusing ♻️ a previously used propulsion rocket for the first time. heise.de/en/news/Next-SpaceX-S

As an FAA-licensed drone pilot, I perform pre-flight checks, especially after software updates. However, even thorough testing can miss subtle issues, as seen in Amazon's recent drone crashes. Kudos to the FAA and Amazon for grounding flights until the issue was resolved.

Expelling experts is making Americans sick & unsafe.

“Across the federal government, DOGE’s push for early retirement and voluntary separation is fueling an exodus of experienced, knowledgeable staffers unlike anything in living memory, according to longtime staffers.”

"Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy keeps going on TV and insisting it’s safe to fly in and out of Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey, despite a string of extremely frightening outages and workforce shortages recently. But Duffy has now admitted he changed a flight booked for his wife on Monday so that she wouldn’t have to travel through Newark."
