Re: Root Cause Analysis of the Delhi ATC / GPS Interference Incident

So is it a reasonable theory that GNPS spoofing led to messages overloading the AMSS? For example GNPS gets spoofed -> aircraft thinks its location is somewhere else ie delay -> messages get sent on AMSS -> happens to large number of aircraft -> AMSS overload and crashes. IMHO the above is only true...

This is a strange one. There were two failure modes: failure of the AMSS and the GPS system. Were those related? Did GPS failing cause issues on AMSS?
