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 issued by authorities such as the FAA, Transport Canada Civil Aviation, and ANAC Brazil, which apply to multiple transport and commuter category airplanes, including those not designed by those authorities. EASA concludes that these foreign ADs are not eligible for adoption under its regulations.
What changed
This document introduces EASA's formal stance that foreign ADs addressing 5G C-Band interference are not adopted within the European regulatory framework. It clarifies that EASA has not identified an unsafe condition warranting mandatory action and will continue coordination with design approval holders before any future decisions.
Why it matters
This position is important for aviation professionals because it affects compliance requirements for operators and maintenance organizations within EASA's jurisdiction. Operators of affected aircraft equipped with radar altimeters should note that EASA does not currently mandate the limitations imposed by foreign ADs, impacting operational and regulatory planning related to 5G interference concerns.
