A GNSS warning appears only when the aircraft is close to a large steel roof. What evidence would make local interference more plausible than space weather?

Answer

The warning's strong correlation with position near the structure, normal GNSS elsewhere, and the presence of metal or reflected signal geometry all point toward a local cause.

Explanation

Troubleshooting improves when the crew looks for repeatable relationships between symptoms and the environment.
