Baku and the Azerbaijani Caspian coast have seen sharp GPS degradation amid regional tensions - a large share of aircraft overhead report lost or unreliable fixes.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Baku and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Baku 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.
Baku and the Azerbaijani Caspian coast have seen sharp GPS degradation amid regional tensions - a large share of aircraft overhead report lost or unreliable fixes.
Baku occupies a curving bay on the western shore of the Caspian Sea, on Azerbaijan's Abşeron Peninsula, and is the largest port on that inland sea. Its offshore fields and shipping lanes reach out across waters that aircraft crossing the Caspian increasingly report as affected by degraded or spoofed satellite positioning.
Since 2023, aircraft crossing the Caspian have increasingly reported lost or spoofed GPS amid regional military activity, a pattern tracked through open flight-monitoring data. Baku lies on the busiest edge of that basin, and operators moving over or across these waters are advised to anticipate unreliable fixes rather than assume continuous, dependable coverage.
As Azerbaijan's capital and the Caspian's largest oil-and-gas hub, Baku ties together offshore energy operations, port shipping and aviation, all of which draw on GNSS. Rig support, tanker movements and flight operations each depend on accurate positioning, so satellite interference across the basin touches the region's most valuable economic activity.
