Power outage hits NAIA Terminal 3

[Monseratto]

[In 2018, Congress allotted P13 billion to the Department of Transportation for a state-of-the-art communications, navigation, surveillance/air traffic management (CNS/ATM) systems of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). The system supposedly matches those used in Europe and Taiwan to ensure more efficient air navigation.

However, it turned out that the CNS-ATM system had no backup or redundancies in place because Tugade allegedly diverted the budget for its setup to non-essential civil works at NAIA.

Among the beautification projects allegedly prioritized by former President Rodrigo Duterte’s former classmate were the installation of electronic billboards and concreting of parking spaces for cars outside NAIA terminals.

What we know so far: Philippines' air traffic system fiasco


So the system was introduced in 2010, but became fully operational in 2019. I won't be surprised if the trolls are going to throw the blame on Pnoy if they read this.

I would argue that the equipment themselves did not fail. There was no evidence that the apparent age of the equipment contributed to the failure.

It's the UPSs that failed.

However, for something that is this critical, they need to have a disaster recovery site to mitigate exactly these types of failure modes.

Bukod sa UPS dapat me backup system sila lalo na importante yung equipment. Me budget naman kaso sa iba ata ginamit. [emoji16]

I fully agree. Hence, they need a disaster recovery (DR) site.

Asan na ba si mcsd, leonleon at stigg ma? Parang no comment dito?

Mukhang natataon sa pivatization moves itong fiasco na ito ah.

I'm not an expert on this but I know UPS is not intended to be a backup power supply. Generators are, UPS para lang wag mag down while switching to generators.

and btw, why haven't i heard of gensets in the newsfeeds...?

It's just semantics. UPSs are considered backup power and depending on the size relative to the load it's powering, can provide anywhere from a few minutes to several hours of battery backup runtime. But since UPS + batteries are expensive to procure and maintain, they keep the runtime down to a reasonable duration until either the equipment can be safely shutdown or a backup generator can take over.

and btw, why haven't i heard of gensets in the newsfeeds...?

In the original article, it mentioned that they do have gensets on standby that can power the system 24x7. It's not clear to me what the sequence of events are and the specific UPS failure modes so I can't say how or why it wasn't used.

Wag na ninyong haluan ng politics yang simpleng kaso ng incomptence. Si Bautista mismo nagsabi na may redundant system ang CAAP , but can only handle less than 40 flights per day(?) why was it not used? he didnt explain. Most likely yung mga naka duty hindi sanay gumamit ng manual puro automatic lang ang alam.

Na mention siya doc sa interview ni ted failon at later by cheryl cosim kay bautista, thats the caused of the over voltage thats why they had to shutdown the system. Maraming reason why the UPS will fail but all these reasons will not just happen without warning. Incompetence parin ang caused nyan at ang to blame ay si UPS who cant defend itself na may tangang technician na nag plug sa No AVR protection socket ng UPS.

Sa interview ng ANC kay Bautista, AVR ng UPS ang gamit ng system.
