Europe under extreme duress

No need to kill trees. Both Foreflight and FD Pro easily hold global coverage for all terminal and enroute charts. No GPS or data connection is required in-flight. In fact, these EFBs are designed to be used offline.

We need details on which GNSS was at issue.....
 
Yeah, I was wondering if the "paper maps" reporting was a bit of sensationalist reporting from someone not really that familiar with aviation. The headline does kind of imply there was mass chaos in the air as the pilots scrambled to unlock the 'break in case of emergency' box of PAPER MAPS!

With that being said (I haven't flown in over 10 years-so not up to speed on the degree to which US, and def not European, airspace/airfields have transitioned away from ground-based radio navaids), it seems that maybe Europe has VOR/TACAN routes/approaches in a more limited/backup/emergency role than US airspace? (just my uninformed perception, based off of limited searching around). Asking bc the EU countries have been big mad at RUS for a while bc GPS jamming/spoofing has been a continual problem for aviation/shipping (near RUS border and throughout Baltic Sea). It seems they've been protesting/ wagging their fingers at RUS for a while, but obviously the rooskies don't give a shit. Any validity to my perception of US vs European airspace?

I'm guessing the EU Commissioner's office sought maximum press coverage of the incident to highlight the problem (maybe stoking the narrative that they had to circle for an hour and also find THE PAPER MAPS!)

It doesn't really matter. They're all very easy to jam locally. Hence why I beat that drum all the time here.

Yesterday on my drive into work, NPR was reporting that the "radar was jammed" by Russians. Then the Polish Foreign Minister was interviewed who was discussing the continued GPS jamming that you mentioned. The NPR lady completely ignored the correction or the difference and kept asking other questions.

So yeah, I'm not sure I'd put a whole lot of stock into the headlines.

The stuff in the southwest section is probably from a long term Army NG border operation. They have drones operating all over the place and gps jammers to mess up cartel drones, that apparently fly the cash around!

The crap around San Antonio…stripper bars.
