Flying with 5G

One thing that people need when they are 30,000km in the sky is an assurance of safety. Safety that comes with the advanced technological equipment that runs an aircraft. But with the rolling out of the 5G cellular network, this safety is being questioned. Case in point being reports that highlight how a 5G network can interfere with the frequency of the radio altimeter of an aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has also issued an Airworthiness Directive (AD) revising the landing requirements for Boeing 757 and Boeing 767 airplanes from landing at airports where 5G interference could occur. We wanted to take an opinion poll on this subject, for which we asked 7,448 respondents whether they think 5G signals could interfere with an aircraft's navigation system or not. To which 39.62% responded with a clear yes and 34.61% with a definite no. 25.77% of the respondents, however, can't make up their minds on this subject.
