Air Route Traffic Control Center Communications Record

PROBLEM: The Nov 13 ground stop followed "a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers" — every center that guides high-altitude flights between airports, failing at the same time. A communications failure that hits all centers at once has no single-center explanation, and a record kept center by center cannot show whether the failure was one cause everywhere or many causes at once.

SOLUTION: An Air Route Traffic Control Center communications record: every center's communications status logged on one timeline — when each center's radar and communications went unstable, what each center's routers reported, and when each came back — so a simultaneous multi-center failure can be read as one event instead of twenty separate ones.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — Duffy, X post ~4:16 p.m. ET Nov 13, 2026: the ground stop followed "a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers." (NorthJersey; Reuters.) The FAA: "There has been a temporary telecommunications outage." (FAA statement via thegreensocial.)
