This article is about a term for a single airport. For the FAA authority to ground all planes, see SCATANA.
A ground stop is an air traffic control procedure that requires all aircraft that fit certain criteria to remain on the ground. This could be airport specific or perhaps equipment or airspace specific, depending on the exact event that caused the ground stop to occur. Downstream effects can occur from the hazard, causes flights to be delayed or canceled and flight crew being unable to reach the location of their next scheduled aircraft.
