A long-delayed Department of Transportation study found that the Global

disruption, and should therefore not be used as the sole basis for
aircraft navigation. The report, entitled "Vulnerability Assessment of
the Transportation Infrastructure:  Relying on the Global
Positioning System," is available in ADOBE ACROBAT format at:
