Nationwide ground stopFri, Nov 13, 2026

Still stopped

First heard on the radio at 3:37 PM EST

Domestic departures are still held. Controllers at San Diego, Oakland, Chicago O'Hare and Los Angeles all report no update, and Atlanta Center says every destination stays stopped until 04:00 UTC (11 PM Eastern). Miami and New York Center say international departures are being allowed. This page listens to pilots and controllers on live air traffic control radio and posts what they say about the stop, minutes after they say it.

About this page

Every word here comes from the Enhanced Radar API, which turns air traffic control radio across North America into searchable text and audio. This page searches it every few minutes for talk about the ground stop.

It hears airport ground and tower frequencies far better than the en-route centers. An airport label means the receiver that logged the transmission. Speaker labels and callsigns are the service's best guess, and the transcriber sometimes hears “nationwide” as “Mission White.”

This is not an official source and is not affiliated with the FAA. Do not rely on it for navigation or any safety-critical decision. For official status, see nasstatus.faa.gov. Please do not scrape, bulk-download or republish the data.
