FAQ Answer

Question

What is the biggest risk if GPS spoofing isn't detected quickly?

Answer
The biggest risk is unnoticed lateral drift, where the aircraft could wander into restricted or hostile airspace, potentially leading to interception. There's also risk of vertical deviation from assigned altitude, creating collision hazards. This is worsened when geofencing alert systems fail because they're working from false position data.
