Given the demonstrated potential for interference from FM broadcasting transmissions into the NAV/COM frequency band, Industry Canada is understandably cautious about authorizing FM broadcasting undertakings (both Canada and other countries have seen actual cases of interference). In Canada, NAV CANADA (www.navcanada.ca) is the agency responsible for aeronautical safety. Industry Canada and NAV CANADA have a working arrangement that all FM broadcasting applications will be
