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.

It has an interim target for frequency conversions for AT, DE, FR, IE, IT, LU, HU, NL and UK to be achieved by 12/2014 (see REG02 & ASP02)

Applicable to EU+ States
