It messes with the aircraft radio altimeter.. The altimeter measures the distance from the aircraft the ground so on final approach which starts 20 Nautical miles from the airport usually start from the end of the runway..

So if a pilot trying to land the aircraft will read its 3500 feet off the ground when in reality it’s only 500 feet off the ground so In bad weather condition like heavy fog that can be catastrophic
Are you one of the pilot dudes or something?

I remember being on a inbound flight into Orlando in rainy weather.. The runway appeared suddenly and I said to myself that we're still pretty high as we crossed over the airport fence.. I was concerned because we flew a good distance over the runway and still haven't landed yet.. Then suddenly the engines went full throttle and we climbed again.. Pilot came on the intercom and explained he didn't like that approach.. I said to myself I didn't like that shyt neither..

My own personal preference shouldn’t be your concern. Did you ever deal with dial-up? You’d appreciate 4G if you did.

yes i've used earthlink, prodigy internet, aol and netzero. I'm not even a big mobile data user, I just disagree that 4G is enough.
