§ 87.261 Scope of service.
(a) Aeronautical enroute stations provide operational control communications
to aircraft along domestic or international air routes. Operational control
communications include the safe, efficient and economical operation of
aircraft, such as fuel, weather, position reports, aircraft performance, and
essential services and supplies. Public correspondence is prohibited.
(b) Service must be provided to any aircraft station licensee who makes
cooperative arrangements for the operation, maintenance and liability of the
stations which are to furnish enroute service. In emergency or distress
situations service must be provided without prior arrangements.
(c) Except in Alaska, only one aeronautical enroute station licensee will be
authorized at any one location. In Alaska, only one aeronautical enroute
station licensee in the domestic service and one aeronautical enroute
station licensee in the international service will be authorized at any one
location. (Because enroute stations may provide service over a large area
containing a number of air routes or only provide communications in the
local area of an airport, location here means the area which can be
adequately served by the particular station.)
(d) In Alaska, only stations which serve scheduled air carriers will be
licensed to operate aeronautical enroute stations. Applicants must show that
the station will provide communications only along routes served by
scheduled air carriers.
(e) Mobile units may be operated under an aeronautical enroute station
authorization so long as the units are limited to use at an airport and are
only used to communicate with aircraft on the ground or the associated
aeronautical enroute station. Mobile units are further limited to operation
on the VHF frequencies listed in 87.263(a)(1).
(f) Mobile units licensed under paragraph (e) of this section shall not be
operated on air traffic control frequencies, nor cause harmful interference
to, communications on air traffic control frequencies.
