EASA has issued a supplemental type certificate (STC) to Aerodata for its GPS anti-jamming and -spoofing product for aircraft. The first approval is for the Cessna Citation Latitude, which is equipped with Garmin G5000 avionics.

According to Aerodata, “Based on the alert/information provided by the G5000 suite, the pilot may select the backup GPS source via the new system. The antenna of the system is mounted on top of the fuselage.”
