FAA puts all kinds of restrictions on what equipment is required to
perform certain maneuvers. You need a localizer, glideslope, etc. for
instrument landings. Radars are made today that can reject out-of-band
interference. If FAA simply required a certified radar that filtered
out-of-band signals during those weather conditions, the airlines
would retrofit and private pilots would also either retrofit, not fly
in those conditions, or divert to land in better weather.
It's not an FCC issue, and FAA needs to require equipment capable of
safely operating within the allocated spectrum.
For commercial airlines is it just old equipment or all equipment that
has this error? That is, is there actually an off the shelf radio that
would solve the problem?
