You probably know more about it than me. I have read your posts on pprune. There was the thread about an aircraft dropping off the glide slope at Chek Lap Kok… The reason given was an aircraft waiting to depart on the same runway. It was lined up, read to be fired off, but sitting between the ILS antennas and the approach trajectory. That was enough to muck up the ILS lock.

GPS can be jammed with a low power transmitter. Doesn’t even have to be a good transmitter. Its no surprise that ILS can be jammed as well.

But (perhaps) fortunately, knowledge of low level radio transmission principles is declining. How many hackers know more about radio than configuring their wifi routers?

The other day I told an otherwise intelligent person that I was getting back into amateur radio. When I explained what that was she tried to convince me that so such thing could possibly exist.

Whats the cross product of people with the ability and the intent to do such a thing? ILS can fail, aircraft will go around and possibly divert. Spoofing a valid, incorrect signal will be much harder.

No, I really don’t. And to the best of my knowledge I’ve never posted anything on pprune.
Must be another FGD135.

Anyway, thanks for the reply; it made things clearer to me!
