  • led to situations where the channel that produces maximum geographic co-channel separation may not be the most appropriate channel for a particular airport. In these cases, airport managers petition the Commission for another frequency, a step that consumes both the airport and the Commission's time and resources. In order to reduce these administrative burdens, we propose amending 47 C.F.R. § 87.217(a) to require applicants for a unicom license to request a specific frequency. Only one unicom station may be authorized at an uncontrolled airport. Consequently, we sometimes receive mutually exclusive applications. Our past practice has been to designate competing unicom license applications for hearing. We have found this process to be lengthy, expensive and inefficient. In addition, we note that the

  • 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''). Although the Commission endeavors to assign unicom frequencies based on maximum geographic co-channel separation, it also takes into account the frequency requested by the applicant, 47 C.F.R. § 87.217(a), and nothing in the Commission's Rules provides a unicom licensee with a protected service area. In any event, Salt Lake's concerns about interference from Skypark's unicom operation are entirely speculative. Salt Lake offers no evidence to demonstrate that it is experiencing actual interference from Skypark, but simply argues that its experience more than a decade earlier suggests that such interference

  • protected service area and do not specify minimum co-channel separation distances between unicoms. See Pepperell Airport, Order, 19 FCC Rcd 9939, 9940 ¶ 6 (WTB PSCID 2004) (citing Skypark Airport Association, L.L.C., Order on Reconsideration, 18 FCC Rcd 16306, 16307 n.16 (WTB PSPWD 2003)). Rather, the Commission takes into account the unicom frequency requested by the applicant. 47 C.F.R. § 87.217(a); see Review of Part 87 of the Commission's Rules Concerning the Aviation Radio Service, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making, WT Docket No. 01-289, 18 FCC Rcd 21432, 21460 ¶ 57 (2003). Therefore, Big Bear is not entitled to interference protection from the subsequently licensed co-channel unicom station at Redlands Airport. (...continued from previous page) (continued....)

On July 12, 2004, Wright submitted his Petition seeking reconsideration of the Order. The Petition was submitted to the Chief of the Division. Wright principally contends that the Division erred by failing to consider the requirements of Section 87.217(a) of the Commission's Rules; failing to appreciate that skydive aircraft at Pepperell Airport are performing unicom functions at an altitude of up to 20,000 feet and with a transmitter power of fifty-five watts, causing co-channel interference at great distances; ignoring evidence of unauthorized operation of the Pepperell Airport unicom following expiration of the license for Station KJN8; and failing to

  • on a number of issues pertaining to unicoms. First, the Commission sought comment on whether its designation of unicom frequencies as either MA (all aircraft) or MA2 (private aircraft only) should be eliminated because the apparent reluctance of licensees to request an MA2 frequency may be causing congestion on the MA frequencies. Second, the Commission sought comment on whether Section 87.217(a) of the Rules should be amended to require, rather than permit, unicom applicants to identify a specific frequency for which they seek to be licensed, in order to prevent situations in which the channel that produces maximum geographic co-channel separation is not the most appropriate channel for the particular airport. In such situations, the Commission observed, the applicant petitions the

  • 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. Id. At uncontrolled airports, unicoms (which are assigned only one frequency) are often the only available source of critical safety-related information regarding runway, wind, or weather conditions. See 47 C.F.R. § 87.217(a); Part 87 Report and Order, 18 FCC Rcd at 21460 ¶ 56. The Commission limits unicoms to one-per-uncontrolled-airport for safety reasons.
