DGCA brings guidelines against GPS spoofing

Civil Aviation regulator DGCA has released a circular to airlines and the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to deal with fake GPS signals that overpower a flight’s own navigation system and divert it from its intended path.

Increasing number of reports have suggested that Indian airlines and aircrafts have been facing incidences of GPS spoofing and jamming when they fly over parts of the Iraq-Iran area.
