§ 87.189 Requirements for public correspondence equipment and operations.
(a) Transmitters used for public correspondence by aircraft stations in the
maritime mobile frequency bands must be authorized by the Commission in
conformity with part 80 of this chapter.
(b) Transmitters used for public correspondence by aircraft stations in the
Aeronautical Mobile-Satellite (R) or Maritime Mobile-Satellite frequencies
must be certificated by the Commission in conformity with part 87. Aircraft
earth stations that are required to be commissioned to use a privately owned
satellite system also must meet the provisions of § 87.51.
(c) A continuous watch must be maintained on the frequencies used for safety
and regularity of flight while public correspondence communications are
being handled. For aircraft earth stations, this requirement is satisfied by
compliance with the priority and preemptive access requirements of
§ 87.187(q).
(d) All communications in the Aeronautical Mobile Service and the
Aeronautical Mobile-Satellite (R) Service have priority over public
correspondence.
(e) Transmission of public correspondence must be suspended when such
operation will delay or interfere with message pertaining to safety of life
and property or regularity of flight, or when ordered by the captain of the
aircraft.
