The FAA in conjunction with the U.S. Navy Carrier Strike Group 4 will be conducting GPS interference testing over the next two weeks.

- 13 DEC 16 1500Z – 2000Z

Each event may last the entire requested period.

GPS, including WAAS, GBAS and ADS-B may not be available within a 294 NM radius from the testing center from FL400 - unlimited and decreasing area as altitude decreases as follows:

- 248NM RADIUS AT FL250
- 180NM RADIUS AT 10000FT
- 134NM RADIUS AT 4000FT AGL
