The technology disclosed teaches a method of path planning using a GNSS Forecast, requesting the GNSS Forecast of signal obscuration on behalf of a vehicle travelling in a region, receiving and using the Forecast to plan a path or route that has GNSS signals available over the path or route that satisfy a predetermined criterium. Also taught are GNSS Forecasts and planned paths or routes for a plurality of flying vehicles used by a flight control system, requesting the GNSS Forecast of signal obscuration on behalf of a flying autonomous or automated vehicle travelling in a region, receiving and using the Forecast and to plan a path with GNSS signals available over the path that satisfy predetermined criteria including accommodating real-time changes in flight paths, without leaving space, that satisfies the predetermined criteria. Also taught is certifying performance of GNSS receivers used on a flying vessel.
