GPS spoofing in the Eastern Mediterranean and Baltic Sea is generating false ADS-B position data - errors exceeding 60 miles - that controllers and pilots cannot easily detect.
VectorHow Aireon's space-based ADS-B network, riding 66 Iridium satellites in low Earth orbit, ended decades of blind oceanic air traffic control in November 2019.
VectorGPS spoofing is actively corrupting ADS-B surveillance data in multiple world regions, exposing a foundational gap in modern aviation's traffic picture.
VectorTIS-B relays radar targets to your ADS-B display with up to 15-second latency, and ground station coverage disappears below 3,000–10,000 feet depending on terrain.
VectorYour aircraft broadcasts its position, registration link, and full flight history to anyone with a $50 receiver - here's what the FAA built to address it.
VectorADS-B broadcasts your aircraft's position to anyone listening - here's what LADD and the Privacy ICAO Address program actually protect, and where they fall short.
VectorYour ADS-B traffic display is not showing you everything - here's exactly how TIS-B works, where its coverage fails, and what your screen cannot show.
VectorTIS-B targets on your ADS-B display are radar-relayed, not direct broadcasts - carrying up to 12 seconds of latency that can place traffic half a mile from where it appears.
VectorOn August 25, 2026, planespotters tracking callsign REACH 4555 spotted a USAF C-17 in Russian airspace hours before the diplomatic story broke.
TowerTIS-B uplinks radar-derived traffic to ADS-B In receivers, but its position accuracy and latency differ significantly from direct ADS-B targets - and most pilots don't know the difference.
VectorYou are not cleared into Class Bravo until you hear 'cleared into the Bravo' - here's exactly what entry requires and why radar contact isn't enough.
PatternYour ADS-B Out broadcasts your aircraft's identity in the clear twice a second - here's who's listening and how PIA and LADD try to limit it.
VectorWhy US ADS-B runs on two frequencies, how ADS-R stitches them together, and why a receive-only box hides traffic from you.
VectorThe NEXRAD radar image on your tablet can be 15-20 minutes older than its timestamp shows - here's why, and how to use it safely.
VectorRadio Hangar explores Class Bravo, the Upside-Down Wedding Cake, and Why 'Cleared Into the Bravo' Are the Only Four Words That Actually Get You In.
PatternA Cessna 150 collided with a hovering Pennsylvania State Police helicopter - here's what it teaches pilots about seeing traffic that doesn't move.
TowerHow ADS-B made every aircraft trackable in the clear - and how LADD and the Privacy ICAO Address let some pilots disappear.
VectorRadio Hangar explores TCAS to ACAS X, the Climb-Climb-Now Voice in the Cockpit, and the Optimized Logic That's Teaching Collision Avoidance to Turn Left Instead of Just Up.
VectorADS-B broadcasts aircraft positions with no encryption or authentication - here's why it's spoofable and why the system around it still keeps flying safe.
VectorL3Harris removed CEO Christopher Kubasik for a code of conduct violation - here's what it means for the avionics in your panel.
