4. It's not that simple

Radar altimeters are both frequency and pulse modulated. As such it takes a receiver with a broader bandwidth from the transmitted signal to achieve the required sensitivity. There’s nothing sloppy about it.

The problem is the government sold off that potion of the frequency band without the due diligence of spectrum management.

But let’s assume for a moment how the so-called sloppy receivers could be modified in such a way so as to not be affected by 5G. The change you are proposing would cost tens if not a hundred thousand or more dollars per aircraft for hundreds of thousands of aircraft. You’re talking about billions of dollars which on some level would have to be passed on to consumers all for a governmental fuckup.
