Atis reports manpads threat in LA
FAA Issues ATIS Report Of Possible MANPADS Threat To Aircraft In LA Area
Pilot Reports of Worrisome ATIS Transmission Confirmed by FAA, Feds
After a tumultuous few days involving threats, real and potential, to events, transportation systems and a number of North American targets, it appears that aviation has not escaped the ire of erstwhile terrorists.
ANN has received and confirmed multiple reports late Wednesday about the content of at least one ATIS transmission reporting the potential of a MANPADS threat to aircraft in the LA (Los Angeles) area. MANPADS are otherwise known as man-portable air-defense systems and can take the form of portable, often shoulder-fired, surface-to-air missiles often used to target aircraft and associated airborne targets.
