If the OP would post a link to the article about this incident, that would be helpful. | |

Aircraft carry altimeters which are far more accurate than needed to know one's flight level. (I could see a case where you would be hesitant to descend without GPS coordinates, in case of terrain, but an ordinary airliners wouldn't get that close anyway.) | |

"Aircraft" is already plural, like 2 deer or 3 fish. "Aircrafts" is never correct English.

| Jun 24 at 4:57 | comment | added | Ralph J♦ | Also, most GPS jamming is not targeted at a specific aircraft (though this is possible, with sufficiently sophisticated equipment), but usually affects everything within line-of-sight of the jammer. The idea that a particular commercial aircraft would be individually targeted for GPS jamming (or, more likely, spoofing) is a little far-fetched. | |
