Military jamming disrupted GPS on plane that crashed in New Mexico

Federal investigators say the GPS system on a small medical plane that crashed into a mountainside last month in New Mexico malfunctioned because the military was jamming that signal throughout the area, although pilots were warned ahead of time to expect that. Four people died in the pre-dawn crash on May 14 that sparked a wildfire which burned for weeks in the rugged Capitan Mountains around Ruidoso. The National Transportation Safety Board released a preliminary report on the crash Wednesday, but investigators won’t identify the cause of the crash until they finish their final report sometime next year. Experts say the pilots should have been able to land safely by relying on ground-based navigation systems or flying visually.
