Summary
The document titled NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ADOPTION - EASA POSITION ATTACHED is an official EASA position regarding various foreign Airworthiness Directives (ADs) related to potential 5G C-Band Wireless Broadband Interference affecting aircraft equipped with radio (radar) altimeters. It specifically references foreign ADs such as FAA AD 2023-10-02, which applies to all transport and commuter category airplanes equipped with radar altimeters. EASA concludes that these foreign ADs are not eligible for adoption under its regulations.
What changed
This document introduces EASA's formal position that foreign ADs addressing 5G C-Band interference issues, including FAA AD 2023-10-02, are not adopted by EASA due to the lack of an identified unsafe condition and jurisdictional considerations. It clarifies that EASA will continue to coordinate with design approval holders before deciding on any mandatory actions.
Why it matters
This position is important for aviation professionals because it informs operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams that EASA does not currently mandate the foreign ADs related to 5G C-Band interference. This affects how operators manage compliance and operational limitations in European airspace for aircraft equipped with radar altimeters.
