Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
This regards a request by Broad Comm, Inc. (Broad Comm) for Special Temporary Authority (STA) to allow use of additional UHF and 3 GHz frequencies for support and logistics for the Red Bull Air Race World Series 2016 event at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Las Vegas, NV from October 10 through October 18, 2016. It is noted that Broad Comm has already been granted an STA for other UHF and microwave frequencies for this event (File number: 1216-EX-ST-2016 Call Sign: WK9XGX). However, unidentified interference at a current Red Bull event in Indianapolis has rendered some of the previously granted frequencies for that event unusable. Therefore, out of caution, additional frequencies are being requested for the Las Vegas event. This is a very large and potentially hazardous event for the pilots and the many thousands of attendees. Public Safety concerns are paramount at events of this magnitude, where coordination and communications have been issues in the past and the consequences have been tragic. Good communications is key to minimizing the risks to the public and the pilots.
