FAA Advisory on GNSS Spoofing Risks

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Safety Alert for Operators, highlighting a significant increase in global navigation satellite system (GNSS) spoofing incidents, which present severe navigation challenges for aviation. Pilots are advised to revert to traditional navigational aids and report any GPS/GNSS discrepancies to air traffic control, amidst a surge in spoofing attacks that could compromise critical flight systems, including automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) and electronic flight bags (EFBs). The FAA's guidance encourages flight crews to prepare for potential navigation disruptions by researching alternative conventional arrival/approach procedures and ensuring adequate fuel reserves for deviations, especially when operating in or near areas known for interference or conflict zones.
