- Positioning anomaly
- Rule: high
- Aircraft reporting the jump
- 1
The event is built for a single aircraft; it is not a count of affected aircraft.
Positioning anomaly: an aircraft's reported position jumps an impossible distance in a short time. The rule level is not integrity drop observation sufficiency; it does not confirm physical spoofing.
Rule level does not mean the same as integrity drop observation sufficiency. This classification does not prove physical spoofing; it indicates anomalous positioning behavior.

What we do not know about this event
- Cause: jamming, spoofing or a fault in the aircraft's avionics cannot be told apart from this data alone.
- Coverage: the data comes from a single source (adsb.lol); aircraft where there are no receivers are not seen.
- Single aircraft: the event rests on one aircraft's positioning behaviour; a common pattern in the area cannot be read from this data.
- Reality: this is an indicator; the event has not been verified by an independent source.
Method and limits
- What is this event?
- Position jumps rely on an aircraft's reported position jumping an impossible distance in a short time. The classification is rule-based and has not been independently validated; it does not establish physical spoofing.
- What does observation sufficiency say?
- The rule level is a rule-based classification and does not mean the same as integrity drop observation sufficiency. Higher levels mean the rule detected a stronger indication; the “Rule basis” row (when present) says which indication the level rests on. The event is still built for a single aircraft; a common position pattern cannot be read from this data. The classification does not prove physical spoofing; it indicates anomalous positioning behavior. A receiver or data fault can leave the same trace.
