Aircraft Transactions Largely Unaffected by Shutdown
While the FAA suffered a short term computer outage on Friday, one industry expert says there was no cause for major concern.

Speculation of a slowdown in the processing of aircraft transactions at the FAA on Friday could be blamed on a short-duration computer issue at the agency, according to Debbie Mercer-Erwin, president of Oklahoma City-based Wright Brothers Aircraft Title. A glitch in the system caused it do go down for about two hours, but it returned to full operation later that day, she told AIN.
