Fuel system outage

[cowman]

So my source on this is just from a couple of NOTAMs and talking to an airport manager so I may have some details wrong but apparently one of the companies that operates self-serve avgas kiosks at thousands of airports is having an outage. Fuel is there, the pumps work, but many airports can’t do self serve right now apparently due to inability to process the payments. So, you’re dependent on the airport manager coming out and manually dispensing fuel/processing the payment.

I just ran into this today at C65. Was able to get fuel but at some other airports it’s down completely. Check the NOTAMs and call ahead!

Heard on another site this system is based on Windows. Why do people continue to use that OS for serious work with all of the security problems?

As a professional Linux Administrator, I often wonder the same thing.

And for something with a relatively simple UI like these terminals, it baffles me even more.
