According to unconfirmed reports, a French airline entered a flight plan incorrectly, resulting in some form of data corruption. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/is-one-badly-filed-fligh...

NATs has reported that the system is now back up and running. It is possible that the secondary system took over with data syncing having to take place before the switchover?

My original post was about my interest in the technical aspects of redundancy and failover mechanisms in something as mission-critical as air traffic control.

I come from a background in broadcasting, where failover is critical, and redundancy is built into any broadcast chain. e have multiple backups and jumping-off points to deal with any issues that arise. It's pretty rare we could ever go to “black”.
