An instrument landing system that guides arriving planes onto one runway at Los Angeles International Airport failed for the second time in a week Monday, reducing the arrival rate by nearly half, officials said.More here.
The instrument landing system, which uses a beacon to guide planes to the runway, failed just before 10 a.m. and didn't come back on until 10:42 a.m., said Ian Gregor, spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
The same system on the same runway shut off on Aug. 7 for several hours, creating 90-minute arrival delays that rippled through the system and affected dozens of flights nationwide.
