All flights in the United States are grounded until further notice “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
The FAA issued the ground stop “following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers,” Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said in a social media post. “FAA technicians are investigating the issue.”
Air Route Traffic Control Centers are regional facilities that handle flights going across the country.
“Traffic should remain ground stopped until further notice,” the FAA said in an advisory. “International flights will be managed on a case by case basis.”
I wanted to make a joke like “no but runway 185 is” since the number of a runway is its degrees from magnetic north and each runway gets two numbers, 180 degrees apart, depending on the direction you’re landing from. But the numbers are rounded to 10 meaning runway 5 isnt a real runway number so the joke doesnt really work (it would be runways 01 and 19 for 10 degrees and 190 degrees)
There’s a lot that goes into getting this joke, and even though you explained it. I still don’t get it.
I feel like half the joke is that Claude would infact consider runways this way and it’s highly likely not understanding this or accidentally miscommunicating with it would induce the exact sort of fuck up he’s describing.
Also gcp grey has a video that explains this topic really well.
Didn’t you just explain how runway 5 (or 05) is 50 degrees and the joke just should have been runway 23 for 230 degrees?
