Beginning tomorrow, January 26, and running through February 18, GPS-equipped aircraft operating in the Western United States should be prepared for possible satellite signal disruptions at various altitudes. The disruptions may lead to traffic delays and even ground stops.
The NBAA Command Center reports the U.S. military will begin training exercises on the Nevada Test and Training Range between 0400Z until 0700Z daily. Training maneuvers will impact vast portions of the Western U.S. including California, Nevada, Oregon, Wyoming, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Montana and New Mexico. FAA enroute ATC centers affected include Albuquerque (ZAB), Denver (ZDV), Los Angeles (ZLA), Salt Lake (ZLC), Oakland (ZOA) and Seattle (ZSE). Operations in R-2508 and R-2501 may also be impacted.
Arrivals and departures from airports within the Las Vegas area may be issued non-Rnav re-routes with the possibility of increased traffic disruption near LAS requiring airborne re-routes to the south and east of the affected area. Aircraft operating in Los Angeles (ZLA) center airspace may experience navigational disruption, including suspension of Descend-via and Climb-via procedures. Non-Rnav SIDs and STARs may be issued within ZLA airspace in the event of increased navigational disruption. Crews should expect the possibility of airborne mile-in-trail and departure mile-in-trail traffic management initiatives.
Arrival and departure delays could exceed 30 minutes during peak demands during initial implementation and peak traffic periods, especially Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights. These delays could lead to the implementation of ground stops, ground delay programs or even airspace flow programs. Operators should monitor the FAA OIS page for current major initiatives.
Let’s put it this way....you “thought” it crashed, and they probably announced that it “crashed”, but in reality they shed unessential loads.
Do you see any vulnerability to the US in doing this?...blinding ourselves?

lots of definitions and history here. lots of lore and
ancient knowledge
needs to be reposted once and a while
And i just bought a high end commercial grade video drone, will postpone flying it in GPS mode for now. Besides i still need to understand all its programs.
For later....
Some GPS systems use GLONASS, the russian version of GPS, as well as GPS. I’d hate to think that my air safety depended on anything russian built.
Depends if they kept up with updates to the known bugs in stuff - designs - they’ve pirated.
So much for autonomous cars.
To what? GPS signals over parts of W. US?
Nope, it failed for everybody. All the priority systems failed, as well.
Can you believe that guy? What a doosh!
wow
