- If this doesn't help, please contact the FCC's Help Desk, at 1-888-225-5322, Option 2.
-They should be able to help you complete the form. Just tell them you are trying to get an STA for an
Airshow.
-In box 3a), please select S for Special Temporary Authorization (STA).

Recently I got emailed from different Air Show Non-Fed. When they submit to FCC, FCC requested to
see email approved frequency by FAA. You may use this reply email to let FCC knows the frequencies
have been approved by FAA.

Thank you.

Hi Phuong,

Yes 5 W is good enough for our use, it is what we had before,

Please let me know if you need anything else from us. The frequencies from last year worked
great,

Thank you,
Jim

I forgot to let you know. Air show/temporary special event frequencies,
Headquarters approved frequencies with power maximum 5W. So I will
submit frequency records to Headquarters with power 5W. Hope this
power 5W is strong enough for you to operate. Phuong.

Hello All,

I am following up on a frequency application I made back in July
for the Red Bull Air Races in Las Vegas this year. I am not sure
where it went so I am just emailing the points of contact that I used
from last year for this same activity. The request is exactly the
same, 4 frequencies for the same activity in the exact same place. I
have re-attached my initial frequency request form. The dates of
the Red Bull Air Race in Las Vegas are Oct 11-17. The original
request I made in July was for more days but I re-read your email
below and we don’t need to go over 7 days so we don’t need to
address Mexico in the application.

Please let me know if you are already working this request or need
anything else from me, thank you. Attached.

Can I verify with you one more time ? Do you want 4
frequencies from Oct 9 to Oct 13 ? Please confirm.
I will double check with Headquarters to make sure 6-
day event does not require Mexican coordination (to
make sure). Phuong.

Thank you for your quick response. I was not
aware of the 7 day requirement so we definitely
don’t want to make things difficult. In discussions
with the Nellis folks they have a standard freq. that
they would like us to use on Monday to Wednesday,
October 6-8. Therefore, we request our Frequencies
to be operable from Thursday morning, October 9,
through Monday afternoon, October 13,
2014. Additionally, when I originally filled out the
request I had asked for 3 frequencies, can I ask for 4
frequencies? After speaking with Nellis I think that
would be better.

Thank you and please let me know if you have any
questions for me,,,

VR,
Jim

Hi Jim DiMatteo,

I have received your request.
I have question:
Air Show Frequency Application has required date Oct
6-Oct 13, 2014.
Your email dated Aug 26 has required date Oct 11-12,
2014.
Please confirm required date (Start date/End date) for
me.
The reason I need to verify because if we need Air Show
frequencies 7 days or more, we need to have more time
to have Mexican coordination.

Thanks. Phuong.

Mr. Motley,

Per my email below sent on August 26th, I am
following up to see what the status is on our request
for frequencies. Please let me know as soon as
9

possible as we still need to get these frequencies
approved by the FCC, which takes time. If
possible, I would like to request 4 Air Boss
frequencies.

Thank you,
