GPS jamming and spoofing and relying on GPS, and GPS backup plan ?

According to a Eurocontrol conference I went to years ago, the Plan is

  • ATC radar
  • DME/DME

That was for airliners. GA would use the 1st one; the 2nd one has no product on the market.

It’s also especially true over the Black Sea.

I am going to keep my ADF ;-), Just saw today a new airline route to LHPP and they were flying an NDB approach the RWY 16 due to strong winds, it allows only for LPV or NDB..guess they don’t have SBAS LPV on the dash-8 and for sure when GPS signal is spoofed you can forget RNP…

Of course it’s great to use GNSS during VFR flight but OTOH flying VFR you should be OK navigating visually.

You are pulling the guy’s leg… flying any distance in Europe without GPS is practically impossible, except in very rare cases like following the coast.

Spoofing put me at OLBA (while actually flying northbound in Greece).

not sure if the above counts as Europe but the red encircled part was completely “GPS free”
One has to fly with whatever is available

I had unpleasant experience with LOI during RNP approach in IMC at LTFG, so I’m pretty sure I’d be very uncomfortable losing GPS even in VMC.
