Therefore, we propose the following changes to our rules to ensure that our rules reflect the latest industry standards as reflected by these documents. Power and Emissions. We propose amending 47 C.F.R. § 87.131 to correct the table to raise permitted maximum output power of Aircraft Earth Stations from 60 watts to 80 watts. The value of output power is measured at the output of the high power amplifier and does not account for RF cable and diplexer losses.

The Emergency is a back-up safety device designed to supplement conventional 121.5 MHz Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTs). Under Sections 87.131-87.147 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 87.131-87.147, aviation ELT stations must meet certain technical requirements. Absent a waiver of these standards, Breitling's Emergency could not be certified for operation under Part 87 of the Commission's Rules.

  • but not the type of vehicle or the operator. In response to growing concerns about airplanes colliding with, or having to take evasive maneuvers to avoid, vehicles on the airport surface, FAA seeks to implement the use of ASDE-X to manage the movement of both aircraft and service vehicles in the runway movement area. Accordingly, NTIA requests amendment of Sections 87.131, 87.133, 87.137, 87.173, 87.345, and 87.349 of the Commission's Rules to designate the frequency 1090 MHz for use by aeronautical utility mobile stations, subject to certain limitations and technical requirements. NTIA states that this would improve the safety of the flying public and airline and airport employees by reducing the risk of aircraft colliding with vehicles on the airport surface.

Examples of FIS include: text of weather observations identical to the type of information provided over AWOS by voice; graphical representation of weather hazard areas, such as thunderstorms; Notices to Airmen; and status of special use airspace. In order to implement the FAA's FIS program, SAMA also seeks amendment of Section 87.131 of the Rules to modify the aeronautical authorized emissions classification to allow not only A3E (double sideband amplitude modulation), but also to allow F1D and G1D (frequency and phase modulated digital). Three parties filed comments in response to the SAMA Petition: the National Air Transportation Association (NATA); the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA); and Aeronautical Radio, Inc. (ARINC). 5. On
