Can signal leakage interfere with aircraft navigational and communications equipment?
Yes, there have been several documented cases of interference to aeronautical communications between airplanes and air traffic control. Q: What are the FCC’s rules governing signal leakage? A: The FCC has set maximum individual signal leakage levels for cable systems. As a further prevention, the FCC requires cable operators to have a periodic on-going program to inspect, locate and repair leaks on their systems. In light of the potential for catastrophic harm which may be caused by a cable system interfering with aeronautical navigational and communications radio systems, the Commission requires more stringent regulations for cable systems that use aeronautical frequencies. Q: Does the FCC require me to use the coaxial cable provided and installed by the cable operator? A: No. However, a cable operator may choose not to connect to cabling that does not meet system signal leakage integrity standards and therefore, may cause signal leakage problems to the cable operator.
