We use MSL altitudes in normal flight as read on our pressure altimeters. Radar and Radio Altimeters measure our height above the ground—absolute altitude. Radio altimeters (rad alts) are essential ...
Aeroflex claims that its ALT-8000 is the world's firstRF-based portable radio-altimeter flightline test set. The universal test setprovides full RF loop testing for 4.3-GHz FMCW (frequency modulated ...
Canadian authorities are warning operators of the potential risk of interference to radio altimeters arising from 5G communications networks, following auction of part of the frequency spectrum. The ...
The Federal Aviation Administration will give airlines another year to fix or replace airplane altimeters that can’t filter out cellular transmissions from outside their allotted frequencies. In a ...
The FAA and RTCA warn that 5G telecommunications systems in the 3.7–3.98 GHz band pose a "major risk" of harmful interference to aircraft radar altimeters, with potential for "catastrophic failures," ...
The Federal Aviation Administration is warning aerospace manufactures and aircraft operators that 5G cellular wireless communications could impact radio altimeters starting in December. A Special ...
Illustration from RTCA report, Assessment of C-Band Mobile Telecommunications Interference Impact On Low Range Radar Altimeter Operations. Credit: RTCA In my last The Crosscheck column, I wrote about ...
In “The 5G Threat to Radio Altimeter Use” (column, Jan. 3),the author fails to understand how embedded radio altimeter signals have become in modern jet aircraft, or he simply makes light of the ...
A new airworthiness directive (AD) published by the Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday identifies hazardous interference from 5G C-Band wireless broadband operations that could prevent radio ...
