An FAA computer in Atlanta failed Thursday morning, causing flight delays at airports across the country.

The failed computer allows pilots to file their flight plans with the FAA.

The system -- the National Airspace Data Interchange Network -- appears to be the same system that failed in August 2008.

The FAA said flight plans are now being processed through the network's Salt Lake City, Utah, office.
