  • There can't be very many make and models of radar altimeters. It would be useful if the FAA simply listed the affected radar altimeters.

    Bendix King (Honeywell) and Garmin are about it right now for GA aircraft. There are some small companies that no longer exist that made them, too, although a long time ago. As for Airliners and transport category aircraft, I have no idea.
