Wow... Well, at 50' AGL and below, you should be good...

Curious if iPhones, iPads and any other PED that has the GLONASS receiver circuitry redundancy would be your only reliable means of navigation in that area. Thank the Russians.

Considering that there's been a similar notice for Alamogordo and Pueblo, so be prepared to navigate the old fashioned way.

Incidentally, that doesn't mean that there will be no GPS, or that the interference will be constant. However, when it happens, be prepared for it to go down, because that can happen. When I flew to La Garita in June, there was GPS testing out of Alamogordo. I had used the GPS to Alamosa while on an IFR flight plan. I landed there for a potty break and because there was a big storm visible over La Garita. I called ahead, and Mike told me that the storm was passing, so I waited a few more minutes and launched toward La Garita.

I had its location as a waypoint on my iPad and on the 430W. Suddenly both crapped out, as did my 96C handheld. La Garita isn't hard to find with pilotage, so I flew up the valley, circled over the strip to check the winds, and then entered downwind to land toward the west. Just about that time, all the GPSs started functioning again, so they were off approximately 20-25 minutes.

From the range / altitude described, it sounds like it's not the satellites. Is this a test of on-the-ground jamming?

These ranges are listed as EC/EW training sites, both airborne and ground based.

GLONASS is typically degraded as well during training.
