  • Gulf of Mexico Region to serve domestic routes over the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent coastal areas. Assignment of these frequencies in the Gulf of Mexico Region shall be to licensees first licensed on this frequency in the Gulf of Mexico Region prior to January 1, 1994, their successors and assigns, and is not subject to the conditions in § 87.261(c) and paragraph (a)(2) of this section. For the purpose of this paragraph, the Gulf of Mexico Region is defined as an area bounded on the east, north, and west by a line 288 km (180 miles) from the Gulf of Mexico shore line. Inland stations must be located within forty-eight kilometers (30 miles) of the Gulf of Mexico shore line.

In addition, we seek comment on the following major issues: Whether to authorize AMS(R)S under the Part 87 rules in the 1610-1626.5 and 5000-5150 MHz bands. Whether to amend Section 87.261(c) of our rules to allow more than one Aeronautical Enroute Station to be authorized at any one location. Whether to amend our Part 87 rules to accommodate Time Division Multiple Access emissions in the very high frequency Aeronautical Mobile (Route) Service (AM(R)S) band, as an alternative to 8.33 kHz channel spacing to allow greater use of spectrum for domestic air

  • adopted a plan calling for coordination and cooperation in the use of the available aeronautical enroute frequencies. To implement that plan, ARINC was incorporated in 1929 as a private communications company dedicated to serving the air transport industry on a non-profit, cost-sharing basis. ARINC is the licensee of all domestic network aeronautical enroute stations in the continental United States Section 87.261(c) of the Commission's Rules specifies that, except in Alaska, only one aeronautical enroute licensee may be authorized at any one location. In 1981, the Commission affirmed the continuing validity of the rationale for this one-licensee-per-location rule. In this regard, the Commission noted that ARINC's stewardship of the aeronautical enroute spectrum provides a number of public benefits, including (1) cost-based rates,

Unicom transmissions are limited to the necessities of safe and expeditious operation of aircraft. See 47 C.F.R. § 87.261(a). ``Uncontrolled airports'' are those that do not have a control tower, a control tower remote communications outlet, or an FAA flight service station that effectively controls traffic at that airport. 47 C.F.R. § 87.215(b); see also Review of Part 87 of the Commission's Rules Concerning the Aviation Radio Service, Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 18

Such communications are important to the safe, efficient and economical operation of aircraft, and may convey information critical to aviation, such as aircraft position reports, performance, essential services and supplies, and weather information. See 47 C.F.R. § 87.261(a). Public correspondence - private or personal messages of passengers or crew - is prohibited. By contrast, AMSS is a service for aircraft passengers that can also be used by crew, but is not necessarily intended to provide critical flight support. Because of this dual nature (i.e., AMSS can be used by passengers and/or crew for personal use and/or flight support),
