Military GPS testing started yesterday on the west coast...
(per FAA Flight Advisory) You might want to factor this in to your
badge or record attempts as the GPS trace may be unusable or have holes in it. This would be especially true at higher elevations like wave flights. The effected area is huge, covering most of Nevada and southern California. For example the area covered is above 10k MSL at Lake Tahoe. Testing will continue through Jan 23rd. Pilots are encouraged to report GPS anomalies to appropriate ARTCC. |

Hmm, maybe that explains why XCSoar registered "takeoff" on the screen
yesterday at 17,500 to the north of Ojai. Good day to be in California flying out of Santa Ynez.

Anyone know what the testing is all about, and why it might make the GPS unreliable? -- Jim in NC |

Don't know if it is true though. Mike |
