So what is all the "broo-ha' about AT&T and Verizon not playing nicie-nice with the FAA.. Aren't these analog integuments being obsoleted?
They are not often used in GA airplanes but they are in transports.So what is all the "broo-ha' about AT&T and Verizon not playing nicie-nice with the FAA.. Aren't these analog integuments being obsoleted?
I believe it's a new frequency/band that is being added for 5G. So yes, 5g is already deployed, but not on this band and it's very close to the radar altimeter frequency, hence the concern.It is a bit of a puzzle. 5G for cell phones didn't happen overnight, and everyone knew what it was and when it was going to launch. It appears to me the FAA is changing their minds on what the potential danger could be if a 5G cell signal or radar altimeter system strayed too far from their assigned spectrums. From what I've read nothing has changed, no new evidence / data has come to light. So it sounds like the FAA is second guessing themselves, after initially being on board. That versus there being a real, newly discovered danger. Anyone know of new data showing something different?
None of this is new. It's been a discussion topic for a few years. However, it took the US 5G companies to finally push things forward to make it front page. Personally I think the 5G companies thought they had better lobbyists. And while the EU appears to have a lesser issue with they're 5G rollout it is much different than the US version as they use lower power, no towers near airports, etc. But here is some of the latest info below. While the ADs, etc. affect the larger aircraft as noted above, it basically drops the hammer on all commercial helicopter ops as they tend to fly outside of normal airplane routes/locations. It will be interesting.That versus there being a real, newly discovered danger. Anyone know of new data showing something different?
Hmm. Ma Bell and Bell Helo into the ThunderdomeNone of this is new. It's been a discussion topic for a few years.

Well, I do believe that autoland depends on a Rad Alt to operate so... yes.Does this affect Garmin autoland?
