FAA Warns of GPS Interference from SPOT PEDs
FAA InFO reminds of safe use of PEDs on board aircraft.

Aircraft operators have notified the FAA of several instances of an intermittent loss of GPS position information that has been the result of the use of a SPOT portable electronic device (PED) as the cause of the interference. The SPOT satellite messenger PED transmits position information to a satellite communications network at user-selected intervals from 2.5 to 60 minutes.
