Controllers Say Bulbs Are Exploding, Sending Glass All Over The
Place
The projectors in an en route center display system that gives
controllers important real-time information are failing at a high
rate and have been marked by instances of lamps exploding, sending
glass shards out of the units, according to documents uncovered by
the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. This, as NATCA
continues to negotiate a new contract with the FAA in a process
marked by contention.
