Atyrau on the north Caspian in western Kazakhstan lies near the interference zone; traffic is sparse but frequently degraded.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Atyrau and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Atyrau as unreliable: keep the drone in sight, be ready to fly manually, and do not rely on return-to-home. When it is severe, do not fly.
Atyrau on the north Caspian in western Kazakhstan lies near the interference zone; traffic is sparse but frequently degraded.
Atyrau sits at the mouth of the Ural river on the low northern shore of the Caspian, the centre of Kazakhstan's Caspian oil industry. Its energy logistics reach out across the sea and overhead, into the basin where aircraft increasingly report lost or spoofed satellite positioning.
Since 2023, aircraft crossing the Caspian have increasingly reported lost or spoofed GPS amid regional military activity, a trend followed through open flight-monitoring data. Atyrau lies at the northern edge of that basin, and those moving cargo and crews across or above these waters are advised to expect interference as a settled regional feature.
As the heart of Kazakhstan's Caspian oil industry, Atyrau depends on GNSS across energy logistics, aviation and shipping. Field support, flight operations and vessel movements all use satellite positioning to run safely and on schedule, so degraded fixes over the Caspian bear directly on the region's oil-driven economy.
