The FAA is planning another round of GPS interference testing off the coast of South Carolina on April 14 and 19. The GPS testing may result in unreliable or unavailable GPS signal.

According to the NOTAM, the testing will be centered at 38 nautical miles east of the Charleston VORTAC on the 151-degree radial.

NAV (CSG4 GPS 16-02) GPS (including WAAS, GBAS, AND ADS-B) may not be available within a 289NM radius centered at 322300N0793500W (CHS 151038) FL400-UNL

The area of unavailability will decrease in altitude as follows:

  • 242NM radius at FL250,
  • 174NM radius at 10000 FT,
