    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.

    NASA has announced a new project to collect information about how people respond to noise from advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft. This study, called the VANGARD test, will explore how noise from AAM aircraft, which might fly closer to homes, affects people differently, depending on factors like ambient noise levels and flight phases. NASA invites public comments on this initiative, which aims to improve understanding of AAM aircraft noise without impacting current or future aircraft operations. The research will involve participants rating their annoyance to aircraft noise through an online platform.

    Simple Explanation

    NASA wants to learn how loud new flying vehicles are when they pass by homes. They invite people to tell them what they think about the loudness through an online survey.
