Ground Stop Advisory Preservation Record

PROBLEM: The Nov 13 ground stop is only the third nationwide ground stop in American aviation history — the second since 9/11, the first since the January 2023 NOTAM failure. An event that rare produces advisories, statements, and corrections that scatter across outlets within hours: a 3:54 p.m. advisory, a 4:16 p.m. post, a statement just after 5 p.m., an advisory at 5:46 p.m., a lift at 8:15 p.m., a website notice at 8:30 p.m. — and one outlet reporting 7:15 p.m. Without a preserved record, the timeline itself becomes the next argument.

SOLUTION: A ground-stop advisory preservation record: every advisory, statement, and correction from a nationwide ground stop preserved as a governed copy — its exact wording, its timestamp, and its source — versioned so a later summary never overwrites the original, and a conflicting time like 7:15 p.m. sits next to the 8:15 p.m. announcement it conflicts with, instead of replacing it.
