WASHINGTON :The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday warned that interference from planned use of 5G wireless spectrum posed an air safety risk and could result in flight diversions.

One FAA directive on Tuesday said the"unsafe condition" posed by the planned use required immediate action before the Jan. 5 deployment"because radio altimeter anomalies that are undetected by the aircraft automation or pilot, particularly close to the ground ... could lead to loss of continued safe flight and landing."

The FCC said Tuesday it"continues to make progress working with the FAA and private entities to advance the safe and swift deployment of 5G networks ... We look forward to updated guidance from the FAA in the coming weeks that reflects these developments."
