A medevac flight crashed into a mountain in New Mexico in May after a military GPS jamming exercise contributed to a chain of events that left the crew disoriented, as reported by Tom’s Hardware. All four people aboard the Beechcraft King Air, two pilots and two flight nurses, were killed when the aircraft struck terrain near the Capitan Mountains. They paused the GPS jamming. At 12:08 AM, the pilots reported they had visual contact with Ruidoso and requested to transition to visual flight rules, indicating they would cancel their instrument clearance shortly after. It was a moonless night with no ground illumination, conditions that create a heightened risk of visual illusions and spatial disorientation.
