The A320 Podcast

In this special episode, Matt looks back at how the podcast started, how it has developed over the last decade and some of the changes that have taken place in the A320 world during that time.
He reflects on the early days of the show and some of the subjects and episodes that have stood out along the way.
Matt also looks at the role the listeners have played in the podcast, from pilots using the episodes during type ratings and recurrent training to those discovering older episodes years after they were first released.
Finally, he looks ahead to the next chapter of The A320 Podcast, with new technical subjects, operational topics, case studies, listener questions and developments from across the A320 community.

In this episode, Matt looks at what GNSS spoofing actually is and how it differs from jamming.
He explores how spoofing can affect much more than just the aircraft's position, and why RAIM does not protect against it. 
Matt also discusses some of the practical considerations before, during and after an encounter.
It is highly recommended you read the guidance mentioned in this episode from the FAA, EASA and UK CAA, alongside Airbus and operator procedures.
As always, this podcast is for training and discussion purposes only. Aircraft manufacturer documentation and individual operator procedures take precedence.
