Ground Stations

 
The FCC regulates the Aviation Services in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration. Wherever aviation services are provided in U.S. territory, both FAA and FCC requirements must be met by anyone who uses aviation radio. In addition, civil aircraft on international flights are subject to international radio regulations intended to safeguard air travelers worldwide. Flight safety is the primary purpose of all Aviation Services.
