FCC bans 121.5/243 ELTs
The title says it all - a 60 day notice of intended rule making from
FCC. Drawn up as ineptly as you have come to expect, but with its heart in the right place. Brian W |

Brian W The original NPRM was in 2006 so you've had 4 years to comment on how inept the rule is before adoption. Did you? -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Brian W The original NPRM was in 2006 so you've had 4 years to comment on how inept the rule is before adoption. Did you? Who knew of this? I never heard of it and do not check NPRMs for matters impacting me. I did comment on the ADS-B Out NPRM because I heard of it. Ron Lee The real blame in this belongs with AOPA, EAA, NAFI, and every other aviation organization for failing for 4 years to notice there were proposed rules which were badly written and alerting the aviation community so rational changes could be made before the rule was adopted. Amateur radio operators have an organization called the ARRL which serves much the same function as the AOPA doees for pilots. The ARRL is able somehow to find proposed legislation at the state, federal, and international level that would effect amateur radio operators and inform the membership and other amateur radio organizations about the proposals in advance of adoption. FYI, another ball dropped by the aviation groups is California AB 48, which also has already been passed. This law treats all flight instruction, including independent CFIs as though they were big trade schools and requires to the tune of a $50,000 fine, among other things, registration, restrive requirements, and very hefty fees. If this law is not changed, as of August 1, almost all flight instruction in California will have to shut down as only a very large flight school will be able to meet the requirements of this law. http://www.calpilots.org/index.php?o...tion&Itemid=78 -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

FCC bans 121.5/243 ELTs
I talked to APOA this morning and they were caught by surprise. I do
not know all the facts but the normal NPRM process "may not" have been followed. Apparently the FAA was as well. Sounds like very poor communication between the FCC and people impacted by this. Ron Lee |

Was the date the proposal was to go into effect announced 4 years ago in that NPRM? Normally the adoption date depends on how many comments are received on the proposal and how many times it has to be redone because of comments. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
