By the way... whether or not the k-index is really something to worry about... this thread could certainly benefit from a little of this kind of love:

NASA disagrees on this one, and claims it WILL be affected - the current flare is supposed to be as bad or worse

I went out flying this afternoon (UK time) not knowing about this , and didn't notice anything abnormal. Solid GPS lock with 11 sats.

What's confusing me is there hasn't been any sort of follow-up (that I can find) from NASA as to whether that previous flare in 2013 did affect GPS as they predicted.
The pessimist in me says that's because they were ultimately proved incorrect, but...
