  1. Seems, once again, that two government agencies (FCC, FAA) can’t seem to communicate or work together. Sounds like the issue has been several years in the making, plenty of time to test and agree on where there are problems and reach solutions before suddenly an 11th hour showdown.

    1. Joseph H. – I’m on the FAA’s side on this one. The domestic airlines claim 5G poses no problems in other countries, yet today it is reported that major foreign airlines are cancelling or changing flights to major US cities because of the 5G issue. Why would airlines that allegedly don’t have a problem in their own countries have a problem here?

      The French Civil Aviation Authority had warned of the same issue early last year (not “several years” ago). Phone masts near airports in France were therefore limited in power, as they were in Canada. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency says it has been working with aircraft makers, airlines and spectrum regulators to avoid problems, and that “no rise of unsafe interference has been identified in Europe.” In other words, over there the telecoms were restricted in the location and power of the 5G towers near airports, something the telecoms here do seem to think is necessary.

      But our domestic airlines have said that the new 5G system here poses serious problems if positioned within two miles of the airports. Altimeters are sensitive devices, not to be trifled with as you plane descends in the fog, rain, or snow at 175mph for a landing on a concrete runway.
