What happened
Collins Aerospace announced upgrades to its radio altimeter family to comply with new Federal Aviation Administration standards. These upgrades address concerns about interference from 5G transmissions and allow operators to keep existing equipment instead of wholesale replacement. Service center availability for these systems is expected to begin in 2027.

Why it matters
