ARCIA releases airband code of practice
The Australian Radio Communications Industry Association has released a code of practice for the “pairing of VHF aeronautical stations to VHF or UHF land mobile radios”.
The code has been developed in consultation with the ACMA and Airservices Australia and is “designed to provide information for regulators, airlines and communication industry members on a standard interface format for interconnection of radios”.
VHF airband services and land mobile radio VHF or UHF services are sometimes interconnected to provide communications with aerodrome management or service provider personnel.
The code of practice outlines how operators can ensure the protection of airband frequencies and networks, and in particular the prevention of harmful interference.
The document covers interconnect principles; interfacing requirements; common equipment requirements; antenna, antenna mounting and cabling issues; personnel and equipment security; and licensing issues.
