What’s new: A short, 2 minute burst of spoofing near the Dallas-Ft Worth airport.
Why it’s important: Spoofing disrupts traffic flow, diverts the attention of pilots, and generally makes aviation less safe and less efficient.
What else to know:
- Sometimes aircraft GPS systems are not able to recover until after the aircraft has been shutdown and restarted.
- In October 2022 signals near the Dallas-Ft Worth airport were disrupted for 44 hours. The interference “self resolved” and its source was never identified.

Yesterday, between 16:47 and 16:49 UTC, GPSwise detected a spoofing event near DallasโFort Worth. In just two minutes, 12 aircraft were impacted.
The DallasโFort Worth area has experienced significant GPS interference before, most notably in October 2022, when disruptions forced runway closures and flight rerouting.
Even short events can have immediate operational consequences. GPSwise makes these disruptions visible instantly with ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น-๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐.
