THE VIEW FROM WASHINGTON
Continued from page 15
importation, sale or use of 121.5 MHz ELTs. Because
of some significant flaws in its final rule on Jan. 10,
2011, the FCC formally stayed its rule on the prohibition on the certification, manufacture, importation, sale
or use of ELTs that transmit distress alerts on frequency
121.5 MHz.2. On Jan. 13, 2013, the FCC republished its
proposal with a request for comments. Unfortunately,
the proposal was riddled with misleading statements,
unsupported assumptions, inadequate economic analysis
and tread on Federal Aviation Regulations. Although
well intended, it was a very poor attempt at rulemaking.
The AEA’s position is, and always has been, one of supporting modern technology. But because of the overall misleading
and potential regulatory issues the proposal could lead to, the
AEA decided on a balanced approach to support the enhanced
safety that C126 ELTs provide over C-91a by supporting the
FCC shutting down the pipeline for future C91a ELTs.
The AEA chose not to support the FCC’s proposal
to retroactively decertify all existing C-91a ELTs,
which would have resulted in a mandatory replacement
of ELTs. The Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
91.207) require (with few exceptions) for aircraft to
have installed an approved ELT. It is the FAA, not the
FCC, which has the regulatory oversight of aviation and,
therefore, the determination of what products are or are
not an acceptable means of compliance to the aviation
regulations. While the AEA supports and encourages the
replacement of legacy C91a ELTs that provide a minimalist homing signal for search and rescue with C-126
ELTs that provide life-saving advanced technologies,
the AEA cannot support another agency’s attempt to
regulate aviation.
Finally, the regulatory presentations provided during
the more than 90 hours of training during this year’s
AEA Convention will be made available online at www.
aea.net.
See you next year in Nashville. q
