What’s New: OPSGROUP has published guidance for crew and tech personnel on GPS spoofing in aviation.
Why it’s Important:
- GPS spoofing in aviation has seen a huge uptick, especially in the middle east, Ukraine, and the Baltic. It has also started appearing in the Koreas.
- OPSGROUP has 8,000+ members who are pilots, dispatchers, schedulers, and controllers involved in international flight operations.
- Over the summer OPSGROUP put together a series of workshops to examine GPS disruptions and provide guidance to its members. Clearly because they didn’t think governments and the aviation industry was doing enough to inform people.
What Else to Know:
- When they put together the workshops they said part of the reason was because things were “getting out of hand” and “an accident is imminent.”
- Both are very well formatted and easy reads. Take a look!
