Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The Boeing Company Requires this Special Temporary Authorization (STA) to perform an initial ground compatibility test of a Boeing 737 that has a unique radar system installed. Before this aircraft can be flown with the radar in operation, flight test personnel must first turn the radar on while the aircraft is on the ground to ensure that required necessary NAVAID and communications systems continue to operate properly in conjunction with the operation of the radar. Per discussion between Mr Krieg of Boeing and Mr Palowitz of FAA, details of the equipment characteristics and frequencies to be used by this STA are the same ones contained in OET File 0492-EX-ST-2006. Some of these characteristics are US CLASSIFIED.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

This authorization is for the express purpose of performing a ground compatibility test of an aircraft with MESA radar installed.
