According to the NTSB's timeline of events, air traffic control asked the military to pause its jammers, but the flight was already significantly disrupted by the time GPS was working again. web.ntsb.gov/investigatio...
![At 0001:17 the ARTCC controller telephoned their operations supervisor and requested [the military] to stop jamming.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3vzhanurfpgaetnf57lc4oe6/bafkreicsxa7hpnlxhwzpknbw4hbpka5bzqamnyyycjbvx442esq2t6wxwq)
![About 0005 the ARTCC operations supervisor contacted [the military] to stop jamming and at 0007:34 ADS-B data recording returned to 2-3 second intervals.
At 0008:06, while maintaining the northwest heading and about 31 mi northeast of SRR, the flight crew reported they had “a visual on Ruidoso,” but their radio transmission was stepped on by other radio traffic. The flight crew again reported they “[have] a visual on Ruidoso” at 0008:30 and that they could “go visual.” The ARTCC controller subsequently cleared the flight to SRR, cleared the flight for a visual approach, and informed them they could cancel IFR in the air above 9,000 ft msl or they could cancel their clearance via the flight service station after landing. The flight crew acknowledged the clearance and responded that they would cancel IFR “in just a couple of minutes.” There were no additional radio transmissions received from the flight crew. The airplane then began a left turn southwest toward SRR. The Capitan Mountains, extending to 10,201 ft, were located about 14 miles northeast of SRR between the airplane and the airport.
About 0010, the ARTCC operations supervisor informed [the military] that the airplane was on a visual approach and that they could resume jamming. At 0010:27 ADS-B again began collecting data at about one-minute intervals.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3vzhanurfpgaetnf57lc4oe6/bafkreicz2x6zlnzgjtotxbyjj37uzj74fvbk5znaukmpsfxov35d55nwh4)
"US military personnel were conducting a GPS jamming exercise that left the King Air pilots—and anyone else within hundreds of miles—unable to use modern navigation systems." Congress must investigate military and FAA protocols before we have another deadly, preventable crash.
