Sec. 87.147 Authorization of equipment.
(a) Certification may be requested by following the procedures in part 2 of
this chapter. Aircraft transmitters must meet the requirements over an
ambient temperature range of −20 degrees to +50 degrees Celsius.
(b) ELTs manufactured after October 1, 1988, must meet the output power
characteristics contained in Sec. 87.141(i) when tested in accordance with the
Signal Enhancement Test contained in subpart N, part 2 of this chapter. A
report of the measurements must be submitted with each application for
certification. ELTs that meet the output power characteristics of the
section must have a permanent label prominently displayed on the outer
casing state, “Meets FCC Rule for improved satellite detection.” This label,
however, must not be placed on the equipment without authorization to do so
by the Commission. Application for such authorization may be made either by
submission of a new application for certification accompanied by the
required fee and all information and test data required by parts 2 and 87 of
this chapter or, for ELTs approved prior to October 1, 1988, a letter
requesting such authorization, including appropriate test data and a showing
that all units produced under the original equipment authorization comply
with the requirements of this paragraph without change to the original
circuitry.
(c) An applicant for a station license may request certification for an
individual transmitter by following the procedure in part 2 of this chapter.
Such a transmitter will be individually certified and so noted on the
station license.
(d) An applicant for certification of equipment intended for transmission in
any of the frequency bands listed in paragraph (d)(3) of this section must
notify the FAA of the filing of a certification application. The letter of
notification must be mailed to: FAA, Office of Spectrum Policy and
Management, ASR–1, 800 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591 prior to
the filing of the application with the Commission.
(1) The notification must describe the equipment, give the manufacturer's
identification, antenna characteristics, rated output power, emission type
and characteristics, the frequency or frequencies of operation, and
essential receiver characteristics if protection is required.
(2) The certification application must include a copy of the notification
letter to the FAA. The Commission will not act until it receives the FAA's
determination regarding whether it objects to the application for equipment
authorization. The FAA should mail its determination to: Office of
Engineering and Technology Laboratory, Authorization and Evaluation
Division, 7435 Oakland Mills Rd., Columbia, MD 21046. The Commission will
consider the FAA determination before taking final action on the
application.
(3) The frequency bands are as follows:
90–110 kHz
190–285 kHz
325–435 kHz
74.800 MHz to 75.200 MHz
108.000 MHz to 137.000 MHz
328.600 MHz to 335.400 MHz
960.000 MHz to 1215.000 MHz
1545.000 MHz to 1626.500 MHz
1646.500 MHz to 1660.500 MHz
5000.000 MHz to 5250.000 MHz
14.000 GHz to 14.400 GHz
15.400 GHz to 15.700 GHz
24.250 GHz to 25.250 GHz
31.800 GHz to 33.400 GHz
(e) Verification reports for ELTs capable of operating on the frequency
406.0–406.1 MHz must include sufficient documentation to show that the ELT
meets the requirements of Sec. 87.199(a). A letter notifying the FAA of the ELT
verification must be mailed to: FAA, Office of Spectrum Policy and
Management, ASR–1, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591.
(f) Certification may be requested for equipment that has the capability to
transmit in the 138–144 MHz, 148–149.9 MHz, or 150.5–150.8 MHz bands as well
as frequency bands set forth in Sec. 87.173. The Commission will only certify
this equipment for use in the bands regulated by this part.
