| Document Title: | PS-ANM-25-13 Electromagnetic Compatibility Demonstration for Airplane Wireless Radio Frequency Networks |
|---|---|
| Summary: | This policy statement provides additional Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) policy on demonstrating electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for wireless radio frequency (RF) systems that are installed on transport category airplanes. The installed wireless RF systems addressed by this policy include those that communicate with portable wireless RF transmitters and receivers used by passengers or crewmembers and those that communicate with other installed wireless RF devices. The installed wireless RF systems use standards for, but are not limited to, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, or mobile telephony. This policy statement defines acceptable airplane EMC tests to demonstrate compliance with Title 14, Code of Federal Regulation (14 CFR) part 25 airworthiness regulations for installed wireless RF systems. This policy does not apply to installed airplane radio systems that communicate with radios outside the airplane, such as those that communicate with satellites, ground stations, and radios in other aircraft. |
