FAA radio outage affects airports, flights in West
Tuesday September 14, 2004

LOS ANGELES (AP) Radio failure at a Federal Aviation Administration
control facility forced some airports in the West to hold flights on
the ground Tuesday afternoon, a Los Angeles International Airport
spokeswoman said.

The outage occurred at 4:40 p.m. PDT at the Los Angeles Air Route
Traffic Control Center in Palmdale, in the desert north of Los Angeles,
said Gaby Pacheco, citing information from a regional FAA office.

Control of the airspace was turned over to other air traffic control
facilities.

"We want to stress there are no safety issues just delays because
control over the air space has been turned over to other air traffic
facilities," Pacheco said.

Flights were not being allowed to depart, but flights in the air were
being allowed to land.

There was no estimated time as to when the FAA will lift the national
ground stop.
