3. ESSIP Plan 2015 / Objective ITY-AGVCS2
Explanation
The objective is based in Regulation (EU) No 1079/2012 and mandates:
the conversion of all* 25 kHz frequency assignments to 8,33 kHz by 12/2018
all* radios and voice communication systems need to be 8,33 kHz-capable by 12/2017
* There are multiple exemptions and derogations and specific requirements for State aircraft (see field ‘Derogations’ for each SLoA)
The objective complements previous ITY-AGVCS which covered the requirements above FL195, this objective extends the mandate down to the ground.
