Mobile wireless industry has committed to continue current voluntary limits until January 2023, and relaxed limits until July 2023. On Friday June 17, 2022, FAA convened a meeting of key aviation stakeholders including ALPA to inform them of FAA’s strategy for future co-existence with C-Band 5G transmissions. After high-level talks, mobile wireless has agreed with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to delay broadcast of C-Band 5G until January 19, 2022, and placed voluntary limitations to C-Band 5G deployment until July 5, 2022, to permit continued access to airport by a substantial portion of the airline fleet. In the United States, wireless broadband deployment was originally scheduled to begin on December 5, 2021. ![]() This approval was made despite the aviation industry informing the FCC since 2018 of the need to ensure that radar altimeters are protected from 5G interference. The 5G signals in the United States are at higher power levels than any other deployment currently in use elsewhere in the world and also with closer proximity to airports. In early 2021, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) awarded the mobile wireless industry radio spectrum to operate 5G transmissions in the “C-Band,” or 3.7-3.98 GHz, adjacent to the spectrum used by radar altimeters. ![]() Aircraft Operations and Radar Altimeter Interference from 5GĪs this is a developing situation, ALPA will update this page with additional operational resources and information for pilots as they become available. ![]()
