  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 12243
    Reading Time:about 117 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed changes to rules for managing spectrum bands with the aim of promoting Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS). This proposed rule covers three main areas: opening the 450 MHz band for broader aeronautical operations and spectrum flexibility, allowing enhanced UAS detection in the 24.45-24.65 GHz band, and updating power rules for Commercial Aviation Air-Ground Systems in the 849-851 MHz and 894-896 MHz bands. The FCC seeks public comments by April 16, 2025, to further refine these proposals aimed at improving wireless communications and supporting emerging aviation technologies.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC wants to change some rules about how we use airwaves so new flying machines, like drones, can work better. This includes letting them use new parts of the airwaves and updating old rules, but some people are worried it might not be fair or could make things more expensive for others.

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a final rule that allows Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operators to use a specific spectrum band (5030-5091 MHz) for communication. This rule introduces Part 88, which includes service guidelines for obtaining temporary frequency assignments in this band, managed by dynamic frequency management systems (DFMSs) to ensure safe and efficient use. The rule aims to enhance the integration of UAS operations into controlled airspace by providing reliable communication channels necessary for safe operation. The effectiveness of the rule begins February 7, 2025, although some parts will be delayed pending further notice.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC has decided to let flying drones use a special radio space on the 5030-5091 MHz band to talk safely while flying, but figuring out who manages this space and what it might cost is still a bit unclear.
