"We respectfully call on President Biden to intervene and delay the full implementation of C-band 5 G until proper risk assessments have taken place and crewmembers are fully informed as to the extent of the disruptions," said the groups in a statement sent by the Aerospace Industries Association.
Time has run out for an agreement on the risks of new wireless service on the so-called C-band of spectrum, according to 10 groups of aircraft owners and pilots, helicopter operators, airports and small passenger carriers.
The expanded 5 G service on signals that are near those used by aircraft equipment is set to switch on January 5. If attempts to reach compromise don't work, the Federal Aviation Administration may have to require widespread flight restrictions. The Federal Communications Commission and wireless companies say there is no risk to safety.
White House representatives didn't respond to a request for comment on the statement of the aircraft groups.
A letter sent Monday to FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel by the Air Line Pilots Association asked for a delay in service.
The association, which represents more than 60,000 pilots in North America, has requested technical information to support the agency's decision to approve the new use of the frequencies by wireless companies.
The FCC has ignored our requests to date, according to Captain Joseph DePete, ALPA President.
He was joined by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA in a joint statement.
The statement by the head of the flight attendants group, Sara Nelson, said that this is deeply irresponsible and unnecessary. Aviation operations are already stretched to a breaking point due to the ongoing Pandemic. Addition of strain and creating potentially dangerous conditions will only make a bad situation worse. The FCC didn't respond to a request for comment.
Airlines for America said in a statement on Sunday that without appropriate mitigations, the 5 G deployment around airports could disrupt as many as 345,000 passenger flights - affecting 32 million passengers - in addition to 5,400 cargo flights every year in the form of delays, diversions or cancellations.
