The FCC seeks comment to establish rules that would enable using 5030-5091 MHz for wireless communications for unmanned aircraft system (UAS) operators. The notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) also seeks comment on whether the Commission’s current rules for various flexible-use spectrum bands are sufficient to ensure the co-existence of terrestrial mobile operations and UAS use or whether changes to these rules are necessary to prevent or mitigate interference and performance concerns. Also, to further promote the safe integration of unmanned aircraft operations in controlled airspace and facilitate flight coordination, the NPRM proposes a process for UAS operators to obtain a license in the aeronautical VHF band to communicate with ATC and other aircraft while maintaining the integrity of the band. Comments are due by March 9, 2023. Reply comments are due by April 10, 2023.
