Puckapunyal army base(VIC) - flying near twice ipad goes a little strange

[JabiruWeekendWarrior]

Hi Folks,

I use OzRunways on a iPad mini with SIM card and earlier this month and today I have flown travelling South West to overfly Heathcote and then more South West.

I mainly navigate by line drawn on a VTC and use OzRunways to verify position to hold off wind drift as my card type compass wheel vibrates left and right a bit..

 

Both times as I get near Puckapunyal army base(VIC) the GPS speed on the Ozrunways goes blank for a few seconds then my plane icon stops but my bubble continues and 5 NM ahead in this picture.

I realise something is wrong when I see the base closer than expected and see I have drifter left of track closer to the base than expected and spurs me to recheck again with the iPad.

I restart Oz runways and it seems to fix the issue or by the time i have restarted im past and I have attached screen shot showing what I mean.

 

Has anyone else experienced this?

Sick joke, Albo must have been visiting……GPS jammers protecting him 🤩

I do a bit of work out at Pucka and often get GPS spoofing alerts.

 

The School of Artillery has a very active UAV program running out there so they could be playing with all sorts of interesting tech

Hi JWW,

 

On two occasions, in roughly the same area (Silverdale) on the edge of The Sydney Basin, within a two week period, I had all my OzRunways Blue traffic balloons disappear for perhaps 5 minutes.

This had never happened before or since.

I contacted OzRunways for an explanation - a telephone problem was their best guess???
