scope:

This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies the minimum technical requirements of the services, facilities and functions that the Terrestrial Flight Telecommunication System (TFTS) supports to provide a pan-European terrestrial aeronautical public correspondence service. This ETS contains the specification of equipment for the provision of a terrestrial aeronautical public correspondence service working in the frequency spectrum bands allocated at World Administrative Radio Conference 1992 (WARC 92) (1 670 to 1 675 MHz and 1 800 to 1 805 MHz). This ETS fully specifies aspects of the radio interface and Terrestrial Flight Telecommunication System (TFTS) ground network required to maintain inter-operability of equipment. ERC Decision ERC/DEC/(92)01 [1] is applicable to the TFTS frequency spectrum within Europe.
