Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The F-16 Block 60 Program is a Direct Commercial Sale to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) sanctioned by both the DoD and The State department. Because of the unusual nature of this contract (Commercial rather than FMS) there were delays while the proper course was determined for accomplishing the license requirements. In late 2003 the Air Force (AFFMA) determined that this program should go through the FCC Channels for the required RF Authorizations. Requests have been filed with the FCC for the required authorizations, but have not completed the process. Therefore, temporary authorizations are required so that flight test activities can continue to satisfy both the Safety of Flight requirements of the government but also to be sure that the aircraft are ready for support the US Government commitment for pilot training of this foreign customer.
