5G is dangerous for aircraft. Official recognition Damn it, the conspiracy theorists were right again! The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Tuesday warned (https://reut.rs/3dGXJWR) that interference from planned use of 5G wireless spectrum posed an air safety risk and could result in flight diversions. The aviation industry and the FAA have raised concerns about interference of 5G with sensitive aircraft electronics like radio altimeters. AT&T and Verizon Communications in November agreed to delay the commercial launch of C-band wireless service until Jan. 5 after the FAA raised concerns. The FAA issued a pair of airworthiness directives ordering the revision of airplane and helicopter flight manuals to prohibit some operations requiring radio altimeter data when in the presence of 5G C-Band wireless broadband signals. One FAA directive on Tuesday said the "unsafe condition" posed by the planned use required immediate action before the Jan. 5 deployment "because radio altimeter anomalies that are undetected by the aircraft automation or pilot, particularly close to the ground ... could lead to loss of continued safe flight and landing." Let me remind you that in November 2020, specialists from the US Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) called the real danger of 5G communication networks when interacting with air transport. “We need to ensure that safety-critical aviation systems are protected,” said RTCA chief Terry McVenes.
