NTSB preliminary findings link New Mexico medical King Air crash to military GPS jamming

The NTSB preliminary report into the May 14 pre-dawn crash of a King Air used for medical flights says military GPS interference—linked to jamming—disrupted the aircraft’s navigation system before it struck terrain on a visual approach. Investigators identified jamming as a factor under review pending the final report next year.

Space-based mapping reveals immense GPS jamming footprint across Europe and the Middle East For the first time, an experimental satellite has mapped the scale of GPS jamming from space, showing the activity is “quite a bit more” extensive than expected across Europe and the Middle East. The results quantify a broader degraded-PNT risk than previously inferred from incident reports.
