In the examples given it sounds like ATC was doing things like directing aircraft in to restricted air space. Obviously the captain has final say and ATC’s role is officially just advisory. But this sounds like a bit more than a pilot who forgot how to navigate.
- mike_d 5y ago> ATC was doing things like directing aircraft in to restricted air space The last US government GPS denial test was large enough that it impacted ATC from Seattle to Los Angeles to Denver to Albuquerque. They didn't really have a way to route around it.
- repiret 5y agoRestricted airspace, and airspace where GPS is disrupted, are different things. GPS disruptions can be vast. Unless you're flying around the Mojave, restricted airspace tends to be small and with ceilings that make it no factor for transport category aircraft. ATC should not direct planes into restricted airspace.
