Default Delays ????

Just looking at the current FAA delays and saw this for JFK:

"General Departure Delays: Due to EQ NAVCAN, traffic is experiencing Gate Hold and Taxi delays between 1 hour and 31 minutes and 1 hour and 45 minutes in length and increasing. "


What is EQ NAVCAN......?

Certainly something to do with Nav Canada. The EQ may mean an equipment outage, not 100% sure.

Yep, sounds like NavCanada computers crapped the bed.

I like the "...and increasing..." part. More or less says, "DON'T BOTHER US!"

"MISC" > "MISC REPORTS" > FAM works out handy on the ACARS in this situation, yay!

Why should NavCanada cause problems at JFK?

Because everything that goes across the pond flies through Canadian airspace

Nav Canada computer problem ... unless the jet-stream is very far to the south the majority of traffic crossing the Atlantic will transition Nav Canada airspace.
