  • ground services, and other information to promote the safe and expeditious operation of aircraft. On December 7, 2000, Utah Jet Center, LLC (Utah Jet Center) filed the above-captioned application for a new unicom station at the same location. Both applicants propose to provide service at Logan-Cache Airport, where there is no control tower or FAA flight service station. Under Section 87.215(b) of the Commission's Rules, only one unicom station may be licensed at such airports. Accordingly, these applications are mutually exclusive and must therefore be designated for comparative hearing. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 309(e) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 309(e), and Section 1.221(a) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.221(a),

However, incumbent unicom licensees are not entitled to such interference protection. The unicom rules do not specify minimum co-channel separation distances. Rather, concerns about interference between unicom stations are addressed by the one unicom per airport restriction at uncontrolled airports. 47 C.F.R. § 87.215(b); see also Reorganization and Revision of Part 87 of the Rules Governing the Aviation Services, Report and Order, PR Docket No. 87-214, 3 FCC Rcd 4171, 4172 ¶ 9 (1988) (indicating that the one unicom per airport restriction ``was considered necessary for reasons of flight safety and potential interference'').

For the reasons stated below, we dismiss the application pursuant to Section 1.934(d)(2) of the Commission's Rules. Background. Currently, the Garfield County Airport Authority (Airport Authority) is licensed for a unicom at the Garfield County Airport under Call Sign WIT7. Section 87.215(b) of the Commission's Rules provides that ``[o]nly one unicom will be authorized to operate at an airport which does not have a control tower, RCO [control tower remote communications outlet] or FAA flight service station.''

Our processing of the Application is without prejudice to future enforcement action if such action is warranted for unauthorized operation of the Pepperell Airport unicom. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 303(r), and Section 87.215(b) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 87.215(b), that the Petition to Deny filed May 23, 2003 by Richard L.

  • that the application would be dismissed if no response was received within the sixty days. On June 23, 2003, Starbase requested reconsideration of the return of its application. Starbase argues that the Division's licensing staff erred in determining that the Durango/La Plata County Airport was an uncontrolled airport subject to the one unicom per airport restriction set forth in Section 87.215(b) of the Commission's Rules. According to Starbase, the airport is in fact served by an RCO, and as a consequence is not subject to the one unicom limitation. Starbase therefore contends that there is no impediment to granting its application to operate a second unicom at the airport. Starbase did not file an amendment to its application within sixty days

For the reasons set forth below, we dismiss the Spirit Wing application and order processing of the Crabtree application. On October 6, 2003, the Commission adopted a Report and Order in WT Docket No. 01-289, in which it amended Section 87.215 of the Commission's Rules to limit eligibility for new unicom licenses to government entities or their designees. The Commission reasoned that ``[t]his public service eligibility nexus will ensure that new licensees have a vested interest in public safety, and will maximize the possibility that adequate ongoing resources will be made available for operating unicom stations in a manner that promotes

In response to an inquiry from the licensing staff of the Mobility Division, Sanford Air acknowledged that it is not currently authorized to operate on the Airport premises, but stated that it hopes to regain possession of the facility upon the resolution of pending litigation regarding the termination of the lease. Discussion. Section 87.215(a) of the Commission's Rules provides that a unicom station and any associated dispatch or control points ``must be located on the airport to be served.'' The record evidence demonstrating that Sanford Air is no longer authorized to operate on the premises of the Airport therefore requires dismissal of its renewal application. Although Sanford Air says that it retains hope that

E. Applicability of the One-Unicom-Per-Airport Rule Unicom stations (also referred to as aeronautical advisory stations) provide safety-related and other information to aircraft, primarily general aviation aircraft. The Commission amended Section 87.215 to clarify the scope of the one-unicom-per-airport rule. The limitation is intended to applyto any airport that does not have a control tower, remote communications outlet, or FAA flight service station that effectively controls traffic at the airport, and accordingly applies to any airport where the airport's unicom frequency serves as the common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF).

Aeronautical Advisory Station (Unicom) Issues Background. Section 87.215(b) of the Commission's Rules specifies that only one unicom will be authorized at an uncontrolled airport, i.e., an airport which does not have either a control tower, a control tower remote communications outlet (RCO), or an FAA flight service station (FSS).
