“As of April 22, 2022, the Federal Air Transport Agency did not receive information about the presence of failures or failures of ground-based equipment for radio-technical flight support and on-board equipment of aircraft operating using GPS signals.
The systems are working properly, ”TASS reports.
The ministry also emphasized that possible interruptions in GPS signals would not affect the safety of Russian civil aviation flights.
As Izvestia previously reported, the Federal Air Transport Agency recommended that Russian airlines prepare for flights without the use of the American global navigation satellite system (GPS).
Director General of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin said that the company will send proposals to the Ministry of Transport and the Federal Air Transport Agency to replace GPS equipment with GLONASS.
