Re: I truly hope so
"Yes, you may safely make that assumption. Satellite comms are not used for flight control, only for communications. You could possibly feed erroneous position information to ground operations (though that does not include ATC), but not to the flight crew or flight systems."
So you're trying to tell us that aircraft do not have autopilots that navigate by GPS position?
Or are you not counting GPS as satellite communications?
I think there are also orders sent to aircraft over the middle of the major oceans where VHS is unreliable.
