5G begins this Weds.

[Box Ox]

No man....

The carriers(airlines/everyone who flies) all have radar altimeters. They are expensive$$$$$$$. With no real alternative that they don't want to have to buy! What they have works and is proven. They don't want to/shouldn't have to do anything.

RA have been around for decades....5G no. See? Why'd the airlines have to take it up the chute?

The 5G and altimeter frequencies are at least 200MHz apart at all times. They don't overlap. Which is why the carriers were allowed to buy the rights to them via government auction. If you can cite specific instances in which interference was actually demonstrated I'm totally open to it.

Is this 5G thing a fake scare like Y2K was?

After the 737MAX disaster COVID and scores of onboard fist fights and out of control passengers the airlines are working hard to get flight schedules and passenger numbers back to normal. Air crews need access to all available assistance if they want to better ensure passenger safety.

I think he's on vacation. He took a train trip.

He's caught between 2 very powerful special interests. The telecommunications industry and the airline industry are dependent on one another but what is an airliner supposed to do? Drop a tape measure out the window to see how high they are? And while you wouldn't want to see it happen wouldn't it be poetic justice if a telecoms private jet crashed due to the fact that the pilots couldn't get an accurate reading of how high they were on approach?

Whys that

Next time i go 2 america i will fly they cant ban u by flight

It is just a potential problem with planes using older altimeters. They have known about the problem for years so no excuse for the sudden panic.

 

[Babagounj]

One must remember that the airlines were the first to use these frequencies, not the cell phone companies.

I think you have no identity because you talk like everyone else

I identify as an attack helicopter thanks to The Matrix.

U remind me of smith a copy of a copy

So did any planes crash today?

Not true.

Classic him, just spewing words and doesn't care if they're right. No chance he attempts to support his statements with trivial things like facts.

No he's just a diversity hire who's unqualified for his job.
