What happened
The FAA is replacing four legacy setups, some of which rely on 3.5-inch floppy disks, with the Enterprise Information Display System (E-IDS) across more than 400 air traffic control facilities. E-IDS brings real-time weather alerts, equipment outages, restricted airspace changes and pilot reports onto a single modern digital display. The announcement was made by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
