According to the FAA, some Boeing 717, 737, 747, 757, 767, 777, MD-10\/-11, and Airbus A300, A310, A319, A320, A330, A340, A350, and A380 models use one of\u00a0five approved safe altimeters<\/a>. At first, 777s were not considered safe, and many flights using this plane have been canceled. Now, 777 flights are back on schedule.\u00a0<\/p>\n On the other hand, the FAA warns that Boeing\u00a0787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes’ altimeters may not be safe when exposed to C-Band 5G<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Without going into any more detail, however, the FAA warned yesterday that only about\u00a062% of the US commercial airplanes are safe<\/a>\u00a0to perform low-visibility landings at airports where C-band 5G has been deployed.<\/p>\n Faye Malarkey Black, head of the\u00a0Regional Airline Association<\/a>\u00a0(which represents smaller, regional airlines) tweeted that “0% of the regional airline fleet has been cleared to perform low visibility landings<\/a>\u00a0at #5G impacted airports if\/when weather drops below minimums. Today’s fair weather is saving rural America from severe air service disruption.”<\/p>\n The FAA claims it is “reviewing testing data for altimeters used in regional jets.”<\/p>\n Article source: https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/whats-what-with-5g-and-airport-safety-faq\/#ftag=RSSbaffb68<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Which planes are safe and which aren’t?
