Russian pilots have reported failures again GPS - are now in the territory of the Russian Federation

The day before yesterday morning, the first information that on the night of the sixth on Aug. 7 over the air space of Nizhny Novgorod and Voronezh observed a massive loss of signal GPS. Other sources claim that the emergency message received from about a dozen aircraft company "Transaero", "UTair" and "Orenburg Airlines". To date, alas, much of the new information or comment does not appear, because I would like to ask the habrosoobschestva opinions about what happened - what are the technical reasons and whether to wait for similar events in the future?



Earlier the night of 29 to 30 April this year, a similar incident was recorded, whereas GPS receivers refused over the territory of Ukraine. The message was received from the pilots of the flight from Moscow to Tel Aviv. Before that - the refusal GPS April 24 flight from Istanbul - Moscow 60 miles to the flight Dnepropetrovsk, after passing the border "in the Belgorod area the GPS recovered." Then Rosaviation warned airlines about the need to be prepared to use [in Ukrainian airspace] "inertial systems, VOR / DME and others." About GLONASS full operation until it is as equipped with the appropriate equipment in the main Russian aircraft Sukhoi Superjet 100.

Regarding the case of the April civil aviation pilots "Aeroflot" Vitaly Sokolovsky gave the following comment: "GPS is owned and operated by the United States, and I believe it is no coincidence the interference and deliberate disabling of GPS by US experts." He also noted that the jamming signal can be and with the help of ground-based equipment, but Ukraine has its allegedly not. "Allegedly" - as far as I understand, Rosavatsii to a different opinion. July 25 the head of the agency Alexander Neradko on the infamous crash said: "Earlier Rosaviation received from Russian aircraft crews about malfunctions of satellite GPS navigation system during flights over the territory of Ukraine. It is essential that the authorities of Ukraine submitted information about whether to use the day of the incident means for jamming GPS ». That is, the availability of such systems is not even questioned. But now everything is much more interesting, because the failures are fixed directly on the territory of the Russian Federation.

On the need for alternatives to GPS in April indicated and International Air Transport Association (IATA), after the same error messages during the time of flight of aircraft over the territory of Ukraine. Quote source Aeroflot from ITAR-TASS: "In the last days of identified cases of disconnection of GPS-navigation area on the Black Sea and the airspace of Ukraine, which is likely to confirm the action the United States to block certain areas for receiving satellite signals».

According to the Federal Air Transport Agency, formerly the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) published a similar analysis of the situation that occurred in 2011. Then, in the flight information region of Incheon (South Korea), interference of the GPS came with the territory of North Korea, the situation has affected more than a thousand aircraft 16 states.
