GPS Jamming in Southeast

[skymonkey]

Don’t know if this will affect us.

GPS jamming expected in Southeast during military exercise

GPS reception may be unavailable or unreliable over a large portion of the southeastern states and the Caribbean during offshore military exercises scheduled between January 16 and 24.

Yep.

And 'Stop Buzzer' requests to ATC do not apply to drones. Only manned aircraft.

And we ALL need practice in 'ATTI' mode anyway, right ? Oh what fun. [emoji15]

****Dates and times of operations are listed on the FAA flight advisory, as well as locations and affected altitudes.***

Does ATC ask for aircraft registration on request of 'Stop Buzzer’?

I need to brush up on my ATTI flying, it’s been a while.[emoji33]

If the aircraft is IFR, or VFR with flight following, ATC already knows who you are.

Yep. ATTI flying can be a handful if you're not expecting it. ?

So if your VFR flight following or not would ATC act on your request or is this just for IFR flights?

If the pilot contacts ATC concerning in flight safety issues, ATC is obligated to assist in any way they can. However, the pilot will be required (in this situation) to complete a GPS Anomaly Form to document this issue with the FAA.

So in a nutshell, if you ask for help, ATC will try to keep you out of trouble without hesitation. Great bunch of guys...and gals.

Could someone explain, in novice terms,
what happens if GPS disappears whilst
one is flying? (P4P+) all my flights are
generally straight up to 100m limit to take
photos, then back down again to land.
Will drone go above set 100m limit?
Or further horizontally than set 100m limit?
Will auto RTH function disappear?
Thanks in advance.
Normally, no interest in non-GPS flying...

It would start blowing around in the wind. Basically it would be like flying your $20.00 Eachine.

We had a similar multi-day military exercise in the southwest centered around White Sands Missile Range (near where I live) last summer. GPS is not jammed for the entire time frame specified, just a few periods within it. I flew twice during the exercise period with no GPS issues.
