Plane in San Diego crashed just a few weeks back carrying 2 nurses and 2 rando guys, belonging to a “medical ambulance jet” service (side note: wtf how is a jet supposed to land and pick up anybody like an ambulance?”
The crash was because when they turned to land, their altitude was all fucked up. They thought they were higher than they really were. The altimeter is the #1 device reported to have bad interactions with 5g.
This is poor operating procedure. When you check in to the pattern they give you the current pressure altitude and you are supposed to set the altimeter to that. Then you respond that you are "with" weather report (current alpha eg Kilo) acknowledging that you have received the current weather and other advisory information provided like the runway you are supposed to use. This is pilot error.
