I was told they lost both ERAM and EBUS (the new DARC system)... so they had primary radar but no secondary radar. TRACONs/Towers were unaffected as far as I know.

This is why controllers still learn non-radar

Regarding "squawk tactical": Most of these things are classified information, but my best educated guess is that it's a specific beacon code assigned by Letter of Agreement between the facility and the military unit.

March is towered, Edwards is not.

None, provided you stay away from controlled airspace.

And if someone was climing to FL460 there would be some broken regulations

But Keith, we can't see flight plan remarks

If we say your call sign, you have established communications, thereby meeting the requirement. If we say "aircraft calling, standby", you cannot enter. The book is correct.

I'm obviously not going to be an official commentator on the cost (since I don't know dev costs), but if we hypothetically expanded to all ARTCCs, you would need to pay a very large sum of money simply for FAA data that we use. It doesn't come cheap. Then factor in controllers to staff the facility ...

We use real-time METARs.

I'll let one of the devs know.
