FYI: this issue didn't simply arise when the ADs were released. The 5G/radar altimeter issue has been under scrutiny for some time now so there are a number of studies out there. Here's one presentation released last year. Time will tell which direction it will take but the implications will be global especially on the heavy plank-wing side. But from what I see there is currently no cheap/easy aircraft operational solution at hand for this issue at least on this side of the pond.
