GPS Jamming
Sorry for the thread drift but has anybody encountered any in-flight nav problems with the latest batch of GPS jamming trials?
It was historically the case that these trials were held either in the far W of Wales or the far NW of Scotland. Last year there was a big fuss made by the Scottish fishermen whose GPSs were jammed and the Scottish trials were cancelled.
Since then we've seen them at Spadeadum D510 and now there's this one scheduled in D208:
REF: H0524/12 From: 2012-Mar-26 Mon 07:00 To: 2012-Mar-30 Fri 16:00
Schedule: 0700-1600
ICAO: EGTT SFC to 40000FT AMSL
GROUND AND GPS JAMMING WI 54NM RADIUS OF 5229N 00045E (STANFORD
TRAINING AREA, CAMBRIDGESHIRE). AIC P 009/2012 REFERS. CTC 0207453
6530/6535 OR STANTA RANGE CONTROL 01842 855235. 12-03-0017/AS 4
Surely it is irresponsible to carry out these 'trials' beneath or close to such busy pieces of airspace?
