United Flight 528 reported GPS position errors on approach to Maui, joining a pattern of Pacific GPS interference events that expose a dangerous dependency across all pilot categories.
GPS jamming and spoofing disrupted over 46,000 flights in Europe in 2023, and researchers are now testing Earth's magnetic field as a signal-proof navigation backup.
