CASE STUDY 19

GPS Interference solution

Planning Process for Interference Events:

Identify Risks: Think about what might mess up GPS signals in the sky, like strong

electronic signals from airports or buildings.
Detection Systems: Install special tools on planes and at airports to quickly spot
when GPS signals are getting mixed up.

Work with Rules: Follow the safety rules set by aviation authorities to make sure
everyone knows how to deal with GPS interference.
Backup Plans: Have backup plans ready for pilots in case GPS signals get wonky

during Flights, like using other navigation tools or routes.

Notification of Interference Events to Pilots:
Keep an Eye Out: Equip planes with systems that can instantly see if GPS
signals are acting up during flights.
Quick Alerts: Warn pilots right away if there's a problem with GPS, using
.
screens or radios inside the cockpit.
Follow Instructions: Pilots should know what to do, like switching to other

navigation tools, as soon as they get the alert from air traffic control.
Train Pilots: Make sure pilots are trained to handle these situations safely
and calmly

Alerting Process During Interference Events:
Let Everyone Know: Air traffic controllers tell nearby planes as soon as they see GPS
interference happening.

Work with Air Traffic Control: Pilots and controllers work together to figure out the
.
best way for planes to keep flying safely, maybe by cha nging altitudes or routes.
Use Backup Navigation: Pilots switch to other navigation metho ds, like looking at
landmarks or using radio signals from the ground, if GPS isn't working right .
Stay Updated: Keep checking to see if the interference goes away or if pilots need
new instructions to keep everyone safe in the air.
