SUBJECT: Global Positioning System (GPS) Signal Interference ATA NO; Multiple APPLIES TO: All 737NG and 737MAX airplanes. This bulletin is not applicable to 737MAX airplanes with Hybrid GPS-Inertial enabled. REASON: —_To describe the fight deck effects associated with a loss of GPS signal or GPS signal interference. This bulletin replaces Flight Operations Technical Bulletin 737 21-04 Global Positioning System (GPS) Signal Interference. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Reports of GPS interference (jamming and spoofing) are increasing. These occurrences are currently concentrated in specific regions; however, they can occur worldwide. Interference with GPS signals can have an effect on multiple systems on the 737. This bulletin aims to identify and provide guidance to operators and flight crew for mitigating these effects. GPS uses signals from satellites to determine an accurate position. GPS data is used in many functions on the 737, including: + Flight Management Computer (FMC) ‘© GPWS Look-Ahead Terrain + ADS-B © Timeiclock Occurrences of GPS interference can result in missing or erroneous information. This interference comes from many sources, including portable devices, GPS jammers, and GPS repeaters. Not light control systems are not affected by GPS interference.

Occurrences can be due to: ‘+ Geopolitical confict ‘* Protection of sensitive areas or personnel such as military, government sites, or VIP movements + Personal privacy devices Jamming causes a loss of measurement and therefore a degradation of the position/velocityitime (PVT) solution, ‘Spoofing is a fake signal that causes the receiver to output misleading data, such as an incorrect position or time. Unintentional Interference Unintentional interference can result from unregulated radio transmitters that infringe on radio frequency spectra protected for aviation. It can also be caused by rare atmospheric electromagnetic phenomena and potentially malfunctioning radio frequency transmitters, Interference ht Deck Effects (FDEs) and Recommended Crew Mitigations ‘There are several potential FDEs possible with GPS interference. The following list contains examples and is not an exhaustive list. Some effects have aural or visual alerts, others do not. Flight Management Computer ‘+ Jamming causes an increase in ANP which impacts navigation capability. Enabling radio Updating when there are sufficient radio navigation facilities will help maintain a lower ANP. GPS- L INVALID and GPS-R INVALID FMC alerting messages can show. + Effects of spoofing on FMC: Inaccurate GPS position input to the FMC in the air or on the ground. ‘An FMC-generated fight path can be affected, such as LNAV or VNAV. ‘The ANP value changes based on the update sources being used. On the ground, if spoofing is encountered while the FMC is pawering up, the position can be inaccurate and it may not match the gate or stand location. Comparing the FMC position with the actual location of the gate or stand will reveal if the FMC position is corrupted. The two GPS receivers may display a significant position difference due to spoofing. This may result in FMC alerting messages in air, including VERIFY POS: FMC-FMC and VERIFY POS: FMC-GPS, FMC fuel predictions can be inaccurate © GPS Data can be deselected — Refer to the Mitigations for Consideration section of this bulletin + FMC position update can change from GPS to radio if GPS update is not available (GPS update tumed off or GPS data is invalid). + UNABLE REQD NAV PERF-RNP ND message can show if ANP exceeds RNP. This alert must be considered valid, GPWS Look-Ahead Terrain ‘+ Jamming causes a loss of GPS position data, When the GPS signal is no longer available, the GPWS uses IRS data as a backup. When the IRS horizontal position uncertainty exceeds limits, the terrain is removed from the ND and TERR POS message shows. ‘+ Effects of spoofing on GPWS Look-Ahead Terrain: © Erroneous GPS position data to the GPWS Look-Ahead Terrain function that can resolve or persist for the remainder of the flight.

General Mitigations for Consideration Loss of GPS information is usually temporary. GPS data, communication, and surveillance functions can recover as soon as the airplane leaves the area affected by interference. However, some spoofing events can impact the user system for the remainder of the flight, ‘When responding to alerts, signs, and symptoms of GPS interference, itis important to advise ATC as soon as practical of any degraded navigation capability, advising them of systems that have not recovered due to spoofing, ‘= _ If systems such as LNAV or VNAV experience degraded performance or unsatisfactory performance due to interference, reduce the level of automation (e.9., HDG SEL, LVL CHG, V/S). Once clear of the interference area and the position of the GPS and FMC is verified, the level of ‘automation can be increased. ‘+ _ IF GPS spoofing is suspected, revert fo another update mode such as DME/DME updating or use available ground-based navigation aid such as VOR and NDB, These functions are described in FCOM Supplementary Procedures: Flight Management, Navigation. ‘+ Cross-check terrain altitude using enroute charts if terrain depiction on ND and VSD (as installed) appears unreasonable for the geographic location, EXPORT CONTROLLED - This tectrology or sofware is subject tothe U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), (15 CER.

GPS updating in the FMC can be temporarily disabled as per the FCOM Supplementary Procedures: Flight Management, Navigation as a preventative measure before entering known areas of GPS interference and in the event of unexpected GPS interference. This practice is at the discretion of the operator after a risk assessment with the following considerations: +The operator must provide the flight crew instructions on when to disable GPS updating as a preventative measure against GPS interference and when to tum GPS updating back on upon ‘exiting known areas of interference ‘+ GPS updating should be turned back on after the position accuracy is verified. This can be accomplished by referring to the NAV OPTIONS page as described in the FCOM Chapter 11 Flight Management, Navigation. Boeing does not recommend preventative disabling of GPS Updating for the entire flight Qperator Responsibilities Operational Risk Assessment Operations into known areas of GPS interference should be carefully risk assessed by the operator. The conditions and effects on airplane systems vary depending on the type, sophistication, and geographical area of the interference. Consider avoidance of known areas of interference as one of the risk reduction measures. Contingency procedures can be developed by the operator using this guidance. Ensure crews are familiar with conventional navigation capabilities and operation. This information is contained in the FCOM Chapter 11 Flight Management, Navigation. However, when doing so: ‘* Caution should be exercised when developing procedural steps if they involve disabling or downgrading of navigation systems and GPWS Look Ahead Terrain. Unintended consequences ‘can occur in integrated systems. ‘= Consideration must be given to the negative effect of desensitizing fight crew to valid alerts due to frequency of occurrence. ‘+ Flight crew workload must be considered in operator-developed procedural mitigations, especially in critical phases of flight. ‘+ Flight crews should only disable GPS updating when instructed to do so as part of an established operator-created risk mitigation or if unexpected FDEs occur in-fight. Repor \g Interference Anom: s Data from interference events is being collected and analyzed, Communications from Boeing will be updated as needed. Pilots are encouraged to submit detailed reports of disruptions or interference events as soon as practical through an internal company reporting system. Operators can submit reports and data to Boeing to assist in targeted situational improvement.

Electronic Flight Bag 10. Additional Information NO@PeENS 1, GPS Jamming (basic) GPS interference typically causes a loss of measurement data from one or more satellites and a degradation or loss of the receiver's PVT solution and should not result in an output of misleading data from the GPS receiver. The position simply becomes unavailable and the FMC reverts to using another navigation source such as inertial navigation or conventional navigation aids like DME-DME or VOR- DME. When radio updating is available and not inhibited, the FMC will start using radio updates for updating the FMC position. ‘The Ground Proximity Waming System (GPWS) Look-Ahead Terrain, and the Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS)/Air Traffic Services (ATS) systems utilize GPS data, and GPS interference can affect these systems. ‘The flight deck indications and detail of impacted systems are covered later in this document, ‘When interfering signals have a structure similar to the desired GPS signals, the effects can be more severe. This is called smart jamming or spoofing, This is a fake signal pretending to be real. Smart Jamming can cause the receiver to output misleading data. Smart jamming is more difficult to produce than basic interference; however, the means to produce such signals are becoming more accessible and affordable due to advances in electronics capabilities such as software defined radios (SDR). Smart jamming can cause position errors of varying magnitude. Large errors can be detected and mitigated by a crosscheck of the GPS position compared to the position from an independent navigation aid. Smaller errors can be dificult to detect. During smart jamming, the flight deck indications of the impacted system can vary depending on the ‘sophistication of smart jamming, 3.

SSaD is Figure 6 - CDU NAV OPTIONS page 4. GPS System Overview — Expanded Information The 737 has two independent global positioning system (GPS) receivers. The GPS receivers are part of the two multi-mode receivers (MMR), Each GPS receiver has an independent GPS antenna, The GPS receivers on Boeing airplanes have receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) algorithms to detect, and mitigate erroneous GPS signals. These algorithms offer some protection against errors from interference. For example, RAIM detects smart jamming where the receiver tracks both real and fake satellite signals that cause inconsistent measurement data. The RAIM horizontal integrity limit (HIL) must be valid before the GPS output is used for most other functions. ‘Two independent Inertial Reference Systems (IRS) are installed on the 737. The IRSs provide attitude, true and magnetic heading, acceleration, vertical speed, ground speed, track, present position, and wind data to appropriate airplane systems. IRS outputs are independent of external navigation aids. ‘The 737 is normally installed with two Flight Management Computers (FMC). Each FMC computes a multissensor position solution based on GPS, IRS, DME, and VOR. The IRS data is the basis and other sensors are used to compensate IRS errors. The IRS errors, including position, velocity, and attitude, are estimated through Kalman fiter.

Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) Look-Ahead Terrain ‘The GPS is the primary source of position data for the Ground Proximity Warning Systern (GPWS), When the GPS signal is no longer available, the GPWS uses inertial data as a back-up. As long as the iner horizontal position uncertainty stays within the required accuracy limits, the terrain continues to be shown on the ND and the look-ahead terrain alerting continues to function. Once the inertial position uncertainty exceeds required accuracy limits, the terrain is removed from the ND, and the "TERR POS" message will show on the ND. Ground proximity alerts that occur are valid. Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) Look-Ahead Terrain during GPS signal interference ‘The GPWS look-ahead terrain function can detect step changes in GPS position and altitude data. In this, case, the GPWS step detection algorithm invalidates GPS position inputs and uses IRS data. If the IRS horizontal position uncertainty exceeds accuracy limits, the terrain is removed from the ND, and TERR POS message shows. Indication returns to normal when the GPS inputs are stable for 60 seconds. ‘The GPWS cannot detect a small and gradual change in the GPS position or altitude. In this case, depending on the landscape in the terrain database for the GPS position, alerts associated with look- ahead terrain function can occur when threat thresholds are met. There have been several in-service cases where false GPWS look-ahead terrain alerts occurred during GPS smart jamming. Ground Proximity Terrain inhibit (TERR INHIBIT) When TERR INHIBIT is selected, it inhibits the GPWS look-ahead terrain and obstacle display. The TERR INHIBIT message shows, GPWS immediate alerts are based on radio altitude, barometric altitude, glideslope deviation, and airplane configuration. These alerts continue to function and if an alert occurs, itis valid, GPWS alerts ‘occur for the following conditions: altitude loss after takeoff or go-around ‘excessive descent rate excessive terrain closure Unsafe terrain clearance when not in the landing configuration ‘excessive deviation below ILS glideslope ‘excessive deviation below IAN glide path (as installed) ‘These functions also remain valid ‘© reactive windshear = altitude call outs ‘+ bank angle callouts (option) GPWS alerts that do occur are valid.
