Re:FAA says 5G could impact radio altimeters on most Boeing ... by tjohns on Wednesday February 23, 2022 @10:27PM (#30449862)
As mentioned, this isn't a Boeing-specific issue. This affects every major aircraft manufacturer, as well as a lot of smaller aircraft with aftermarket avionics. Surely Boeing isn't going to pay for the entire industry.

Also, the FAA has no way of knowing if a particular aircraft operator is using a radio altimeter or not. Even if I have one installed, maybe I chose to switch it off. It's also possible I'm using it for situational awareness only (which is still allowed) and not using it to descend below legal approach minimums.

Boeing pays for their upgrades. Airbus can pay for their upgrades. Douglas Aircraft pays for their upgrades after we revive the company.
