FAA Ground Stops Screensaver
The FAA Ground Stops screensaver shows real active ground stops, ground delay programmes and airport closures across US airspace, from the FAA's own public status feed. An empty board means everything is running normally. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the FAA Ground Stops screensaver works
The background pipeline reads this from FAA and saves a snapshot the saver loads.
Real active ground stops, ground delay programmes and airport closures across US airspace, from the FAA's own public status feed.
It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.
Colours and the accent can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.
