Findings this week
- In the regional scope (Türkiye and neighbours), 3.58% (7,516) of 210,129 aircraft-hours over seven days showed degraded navigation integrity; the daily rate ranged from 3.11% to 3.90%. The peak day was 30 August (3.90%), followed by 24 August (3.90%). These data do not identify the cause of any rise or fall.
- Share of aircraft affected by region (weekly, FIRs with sufficient observation volume): Ankara 14.1%, Damascus 7.3%, Bucharest 6.2%, Sofia 4.6%, Istanbul 3.9%.
- The integrity-drop event affecting the most aircraft this week was on 26 August in the Istanbul FIR: 275 unique aircraft, 17 hours (06–22 UTC) (event = connected medium/high-level cell-hours). All days of the week were produced with the same algorithm version (1.5.0), so the events are comparable with one another.
- Position anomalies (spoofing, rule-based, focus region): 150 high/medium-confidence events this week (118 high, 32 medium); busiest day 24 August (32). There are also 81 low-confidence events and 749 jumps overlapping with low integrity; jumps coinciding with integrity loss are not counted in this headline figure; the cause is not stated. Indicator only: it states no cause.
Data period, version and scope
This report was published on 15 October 2026 and rests on the published data of that day: regional scope (Türkiye and neighbours), algorithm 1.5.0 (a single affected-aircraft definition is used: a notable share of reports showing low integrity; faulty-transmitter filter applied). This report was prepared retrospectively on 15 October 2026, after the week ended: the figures show the current reprocessed series, not necessarily what would have been published at the time. Earlier weekly reports may have been prepared with a different scope or algorithm version; reports must not be compared directly. The data come from a single source (adsb.lol); areas without receivers are invisible and “no data” does not mean “calm”. It is an indicator only: it states no cause and makes no definitive detection claim.
This report is based on observed ADS-B data and is not an operational navigation source. See the methodology page for the general framework.
