Background

We found little published material on GPS interference affecting aviation in Chile. At an ICAO regional meeting in July 2026, Argentina's civil aviation administration presented a comparison of public ADS-B maps for January 2024 to July 2025 and concluded that there were few spoofing or jamming cases across South America (ANAC Argentina, July 2026). A January 2026 ICAO regional safety alert on jamming and spoofing named flight information regions in northern South America and the Caribbean, not Chile's (ICAO RASG-PA, January 2026). For the reporting on interference in Chile, and who it is attributed to, see: Americas.

Only hexagons whose centre lies inside Chile's borders are counted, so hexagons in neighbouring countries and out at sea are left out. The map is framed on -56 to -17.5 and -75.8 to -66.4.

By altitude

Chile: No clear altitude pattern. How this is read.

Aircraft observations by barometric altitude, latest update
Altitude	Aircraft	Share affected
Below 5,000 ft	303	2.0%
5,000 to 15,000 ft	354	1.1%
15,000 to 30,000 ft	574	0.2%
Above 30,000 ft	119	0.0%

Chile: an aircraft is counted in each layer it crosses, so the rows do not add up.

Chile. Low reported accuracy points to interference but does not prove it, and the map cannot locate a transmitter or say who is responsible. How the map is made.
