WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will hold a meeting Wednesday with telecom and airline industry officials on a push to replace and retrofit airplane radio altimeters that could be at risk of interference from C-Band 5G wireless service.
The FAA wants to use the meeting to establish “an achievable timeframe to retrofit/replace radar altimeters in the U.S. fleet,” according to a letter seen by Reuters that also asked aviation representatives to attend “to offer options and commit to actions necessary to meet these objectives.”
