Unsafe Condition

The FAA determined that radio altimeters cannot be relied upon to perform their intended function if they experience 5G C-Band interference, and a determination that, during landings, as a result of this interference, certain airplane systems may not properly transition from AIR to GROUND mode when landing on certain runways, resulting in a longer landing distance than normal due to the effect on thrust reverser deployment, speedbrake deployment, and increased idle thrust.

Required Actions
