The FAA has posted a flight advisory announcing military exercises that will require jamming of GPS signals for periods of several hours each day of the event. Navigation guidance, ADS-B, and other services associated with GPS could be affected for up to 400 nautical miles at Flight Level 400, down to a radius of 180 nm at 50 feet above the ground.According to Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association (AOPA) writer Dan Namowitz, "GPS reception may be unavailable or unreliable over a large portion of the southeastern states and the Caribbean during the offshore military exercises." The flight advisory encourages pilots to report any GPS anomalies they encounter.AOPA continues to advocate for officials to place more focus on efforts to address the well-documented safety concerns raised by such events.
