The expansionón of the red of Internet mówill 5G a loos USA attracted attentionón of the FAA, which warns of possible interference and interruptionsónumber of flights.
Para la Federal Aviation Administration – FAA, there is a potential risk to the operationón of thousands of aircraft in the USA due to radio interference andñground ales focused on ILS systems, what to bringía la suspensionóno flight delay.
In an official statement the entity indicatedó:
The FAA believes that the expansionó5G and aviationón coexistán safely. Hoy, We took an important step towards that goal by issuing two airworthiness directives to provide a framework and compile máwith informationón to avoid potential effects on aviation safety equipmentón. The FAA isá working in close collaborationón with the Commissionón Federal Communications and final companiesámbricas, and has moved towards implementationón sure of the expansionón 5G. We trust that with the collaborationóWe will continue to achieve this shared goal.
¿CuáThis is the risk of 5G for flights?
As we know, this new technologyíbecause little by little it isá activating throughout the world has the objective of offering a better and más ráask for cell phone connectivity around the world, but in the United States it was approvedó recently that its operating bands widenedíon.
Currently, The operating bands of the 5G network range from 3650 and the 3700 MHz, but since 5 of January of 2021 if you authorizeó in the United States that it is transmitted between 3700 and 3800 MHz, which makes it very close to the 4200 and 4400 MHz than the alt radioímeters of aircraft use.
The radio altímeters are key safety components found on all aircraft, commercial airplanes and propellerópteros, being susceptible to interference from wireless systemsámbricos C-Band 5G. Durante una situationóinterference no., dangerous data or deceptionñradioalt bearsímeter introduce a significant level of risk to the aircraft at the worst possible time: during the approachón and landing. Spaghettién may reduce or eliminate the functionality of terrain avoidance systems. This potential 5G interference has been documented as a safety risk by the FAA and several aviation safety regulators.ón globally.
¿Cuáhe is the proposal?
In the FAA directive that affectá a 6.834 transport planes and alsoén helixópteros of various models and manufacturers, operators are asked toéinmates to update their flight manuals to restrict operationón when the presence of 5G C Band exists at a certain airport.
They surround heríone of the bands mayíto generate interference or err readingsóindications on cockpit instruments in low visibility landing situations, implying a potential risk to the operationón, so I phoneóunique like Verizon and AT&T have proposed temporarily restricting transmissionón 5G, but a solution is requiredón in the long term to maintain an expansionón of the network and an aviationón safe.
These restrictions range from the use of ILS, RNP, automatic landingsáticos, enhanced vision systemsóflight number, other flight control and auto-hover systems in the case of helixópteros.
The airports where these restrictions come into forceóto beás previously notified by the FAA vía NOTE.
The truth is, due to the risk that this network could cause on flights, I think they should withdraw them for a while until the problem is solved., I think they are a good advance for technology but they should be perfected a little more so that they work well. Good post, interesting information..
Let's see what happens in the next few weeks..
