5G Rollout Expected to Delay Over 345,000 Flights
5G is being rolled out across the United States but is being scrutinized on whether or not it poses a threat to safety in the air. 5G uses frequencies between 3.70 and 3.98 GHz, which is very similar to what radio altimeters on aircraft use. Radio altimeters are used to determine the altitude of aircraft during critical phases of flight. One of the critical phases of flight is when visibility is reduced, and instruments aids must be used to land instead of visual aids.

Y2K all over again, with just as much B.S.

Well, I’m going to turn my 5G off. I don’t need it anyway because my Wi-Fi is faster anyway. Hopefully we can all do the same, maybe start a trend, help a country out? Whaddayasay?
I'm trying to figure out the math, according to https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/nas/ there are 45K flights per day in the National Air Space System and yet A4A states 345k US flights & 5400 cargo flights will be delayed. Scare tactic or are there 300K+ ghost planes flying around?
If you go to airlines.org and read their press release, the 345k figure was their estimation of the number of flights that would have been cancelled in 2019. So that’s an annual number rather than a daily figure. There must be some unwritten rule about aviation reporting; it’s always fouled up.
