When you know answers to questions like this it becomes an ethical question whether to share your knowledge.


It depends. We now have this little thing called the Internet, and you can quickly learn a ton of things on it. Even if you just learn a few points and without all the details, that's still better than nothing and at least a starting point for further study, if needed.

And it depends on the direction of the answers too.

For example I think most autoland still require some amount of visibility a few seconds before touchdown, and the pilots are supposed to go around if they do not have it. Plus, I believe planes also use a radio altimeter while landing. But I don't believe they use GPS for the final approach.

So you might put a plane in a difficult position with that kind of attack, but not necessarily making it crash. And there are probably more easy ways to do more damage.
