GPS Testing - Anyone seen/seeing outages?
This post is primarily aimed at Utah and New Mexico pilots who may
have had their Flight Logs messed up by current and ongoing GPS Testing. Did Any Utah glider pilots see any affects from the GPS Testing (NOTAM ACC GPS 11-07) done at Wendover, UT from 4/28/11 to 5/13/11? Have any Moriarty, NM pilots seen any affects from the currently underway GPS Test (NOTAM WSMR 11-08 AND 11-09) at White Sands over the past week? We are trying to determine if we should be worried about this testing for the upcoming Moriarty Super Regional. This may also be an issue for the 18m Nationals in Hobbs later in June. Any reporting of real world effects would be appreciated. Thanks, Tim "EY" |

GPS Testing - Anyone seen/seeing outages?
Noticed a moment of lost GPS signal yesterday in the Owens Valley.
Perhaps there was more when I wasn't looking at the TV screen. This may or may not have been due to any testing. It did not affect the "trace". I have seen a lot of lost GPS signal when the jammer testing was being done at China Lake. It is only a problem if you lose the signal while approaching a turnpoint, do not regain it until after leaving the sector, and are not paying attention/doing something about the problem (like making sure you have a log in the sector.) WinPilot was pretty funny when it lost GPS for a while, indicating wind like you cannot imagine. The wind arrow went off the screen. Jim |

Hopefully, we'll get some flights in during the next few days and we'll be able to observe any effects due to the GPS testing.... Thx - Renny |
