Re:    Astronics AeroSat Corporation – Section 1.65 Submission,
       Update and Clarify Information in Pending Modification Application
       File No. SES-MFS-20161003-00823 (Call Sign E140087)

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Astronics AeroSat Corporation (“Astronics AeroSat”), in connection with the above-referenced
earth station aboard aircraft (“ESAA”) blanket license modification application and after
consultation with the Commission staff, pursuant to Section 1.65 of the Commission’s Rules, 47
C.F.R. § 1.65, is writing to update and clarify certain information submitted in connection with
its pending application.

Astronics AeroSat updates the record of this proceeding by revising the proposed emission
designators associated with each frequency band. Specifically, in the Schedule B, Item 47,
Astronics AeroSat inadvertently included an extra character (“K”) in the emission designator.
Accordingly, Astronics AeroSat updates the emission designators for both ESAA terminals as
indicated in the attachment to this letter.

In addition, Item 41 in the Schedule B indicates that the antenna gain for the previously licensed
HR6400 terminal (AES1) is 0.0 dBi. Astronics AeroSat confirms that the HR6400 technical
characteristics have not changed since originally approved and that the FCC’s online application
automatically propagates a 0.0 dBi value when the entry is left blank.

Finally, Astronics AeroSat notes that the Site ID in the license is currently designated as
“AES1”, which is identical to the Antenna ID for the HR6400 terminal. In the interest of
clarity, Astronics AeroSat respectfully requests that the Site ID name be changed to “AERO” to
avoid potential confusion between site information and terminal information.


Astronics AeroSat believes that the remaining information set forth in the application is accurate.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions regarding this matter.

Respectfully submitted,
