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.
