PART 171_NON-FEDERAL NAVIGATION FACILITIES--Table of Contents

 

             Subpart F_Simplified Directional Facility (SDF)

 

Sec. 171.105  Minimum requirements for approval.



    (a) The following are the minimum requirements that must be met 

before the Federal Aviation Administration will approve an IFR procedure 

for a non-Federal Simplified Directional Facility:

    (1) A suitable frequency channel must be available.

    (2) The facility's performance, as determined by air and ground 

inspection, must meet the requirements of Sec. Sec. 171.109 and 

171.111.

    (3) The installation of the equipment must meet the requirements of 

Sec. 171.113.

    (4) The owner must agree to operate and maintain the facility in 

accordance with Sec. 171.115.

    (5) The owner must agree to furnish periodic reports as set forth in 

Sec. 171.117, and agree to allow the FAA to inspect the facility and 

its operation whenever necessary.

    (6) The owner must assure the FAA that he will not withdraw the 

facility from service without the permission of the FAA.

    (7) The owner must bear all costs of meeting the requirements of 

this section and of any flight or ground inspections made before the 

facility is commissioned, except that the FAA may bear certain of these 

costs subject to budgetary limitations and policy established by the 

Administrator.

    (b) If the applicant for approval meets the requirements of 

paragraph (a) of this section, the FAA commissions the facility as a 

prerequisite to its approval for use in an IFR procedure. The approval 

is withdrawn at any time the facility does not continue to meet those 

requirements. In addition, the facility is licensed by the Federal 

Communications Commission. The Federal Aviation Administration 

recommends cancellation or nonrenewal of the Federal Communications 

Commission license whenever the frequency channel is needed for higher 

priority common system service.
