Where did they announce this? The NOTAM linked from the parent article is still on the FAA website and clearly says GPS may not be available between 50 Ft and 40,000 Ft. (NB I am not confusing FL 50 for 50 Ft)

- mysterypie 10y agoMy apologies, you are correct; the jamming will affect aircraft above 50 feet. I was reading an article on Gizmodo[1] that originally said 50ft, then they "corrected" it to 5000ft[2], and then corrected it again to 50ft. Serves me right for relying on Gizmodo rather than reading the official FAA site.

[this is someone's capture of the incorrect Gizmodo article where they said 5,000 ft]
- ridgeguy 10y agoI'm curious - If I fly a GPS-dependent drone above 50 feet within the jamming footprint, do you think it would degrade or fail? If I were near the area, I might try the experiment.
