So I take it the FAA is still screwing with ya, must have been that last oil change video that triggered it
While I agree I would get up to date charts. With VOR’s getting decommissioned left and right you could get yourself in a pickle if your are planning on relying on something that was dc a year ago
Maybe your Grumman is too fast for GPS? Did you try slowing down?
I gave my sextant to my wife and she doesn't use it much anymore.
What that is is a warning shot across the bow of all the sky mariners who believe that GPS is the end-all/be-all of navigation. This is a point I have made since the beginning of Loran. Put all your eggs on one basket and the yolk is on you.
I still carry an old and outdated set of charts. The VOR receiver is working and calibrated. And episodically I fly a VOR track out and back, including time to station by tracking across two radials, ending with a VOR-A approach, all on my own.
(I don't bother ATC with such antiquated requests for fear of some young controller getting vapor lock of the prefrontal lobes over the idea that I do NOT need him or his radar to get from point a to point b - the horror, the horror)
And the GPS jamming would be the military yanking your chain - or some drug runner's. Perhaps a solar flare. Or Iranian jihadis on the ground testing their new GPS jammer. Maybe even an FTL ship with poorly adjusted dampers that dropped out of hypercruise to get a nav fix and then going FTL again.

That’s just what they want you thinkI sent them a copy of the FAA trip video. Their response was calculated and nice.
This. We had similar intermittent issues. Turns out the Garmin “TSOed” antenna was delaminating and emitting spurious noise on the GPS freq. Took a long while to narrow this down.
They need to test it near potential targets.They need to take this testing offshore. GPS is becoming too critical.

You still looked lost...LOL
Departing 52F almost to Oklahoma.
This. I want our warriors well trained in case of a “real” war with an enemy that WILL jam the GPS and it wouldn’t hurt too much for the common Joe to realize the need for an alternate plan when driving.They need to test it near potential targets.

True, but even if it does it’s not a societal loss.This doesn't affect Average Joe much - The area affected by the jamming increases greatly with altitude. Even with Nellis jamming, I bet most of the ground pounders in Vegas are still able to use their GPS.
not the same at all.Well they should train for chemical attacks too, but I don't want them gassing civilians in the process.
Yup... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLONASSIsn't there dual band GPS's so to speak, I believe one is russian and they say it is never down here when ours are.............
It was just something he saw in the window, but then it was 'curtains' for them.What kind of tent did you give your wife?
I wonder why they (whoever is jamming GPS) wouldn't want to jam GLONASS at the same time?Isn't there dual band GPS's so to speak, I believe one is russian and they say it is never down here when ours are.............

And stupid "rules" like this are why we're woefully unprepared for the next chemical attack.Well they should train for chemical attacks too, but I don't want them gassing civilians in the process.
You've said too much.Perhaps because they don't want anybody to know precisely what their capabilities are?
