— United 289 we were cleared because of a radar glitch and they're saying they're going to have that fixed. I guess the fuel is becoming an issue. — Uh yeah, let me check it's I'm — I'm not sure what's going on with the arrival sector 10:91. — I don't know what's going on. I guess the tower is saying that since they don't have radar they can't take any arrivals. We're trying to figure that out now. I don't know how that our tower doesn't figure that out. So we'll get back with you guys as soon as we can. My plan is just spinning you guys until we can get you in. — At least you have a plan. — Yeah, well it's not a good one but it's what we got right — Better at the tower, I guess. — That's how Virgin 42 actually. — Virgin 42 actually heavy. — If we shut our engines down here, would that cause you any problems? — How long would it take you to start them back up? — I think about 5 minutes. — Um, you know what? Yeah, that's fine. Anybody on Fox route that's waiting in the line, if you want to shut down your engines, that's approved. I'll let you know when the radar comes back. — That's fine. — Does Domino's deliver on Fox? — Say again. — Does Domino's deliver? — Yeah, that'd be nice. — Yeah, Blue 1733 flying heading 160. — 160, what speed do you need, sir? — Uh, I'm not You just speed your discretion for now. — Okay, we're going to 230. — Delta 1091, maintain 5,000, turn left heading 260. — Heading 260, 5,000. That's 1091. — Uh, tower, United 2854, we are number one short 28 left. You want us to shut them down as well? — Yeah, if you want to, that's fine. We have no timeline of when the radar is going to come back up. — Copy that. We'll probably need about 10 minutes to restart everything, so let us know. Roger. — What's up, 1091? It's starting to get plane. Are we going to be able to shoot one more approach in there, or should we go to alternate? — Yeah, uh, Delta 1091, sorry. I've asked that question. We have a supervisor making phone calls. The tech ops say that radar is back, but um we're not sure from the tower yet. — Okay, thanks. — And all aircraft waiting in San Francisco, I just called the tower. They're not taking any arrivals at the tower right now for San Francisco. — Delta 289, we want to go to open. — Delta tech Who is that? — Delta 2089. — Delta 2089, you're clear to open airport via turn left heading 360. — 360, Delta 2089. — Now American 3054 would like to divert to SMS.
