Title: AOPA Italia Champions the use of Rosetta and other ISM band devices.
Post by: Keithvinning on February 17, 2022, 06:52:16 pm
PilotAware has been personally contacted by Rinaldo Gaspari the president of AOPA Italia to let us know that they have negotiated a change in the law with the Italian Military authorities that enables PilotAware Rosetta and Flarm to legally be used in Italy. The following is an English translation of what they have done.

Whilst we were unaware that Italy did not follow the rest of Europe in the harmonisation of the 860 Band, we are delighted at the pragmatic and forward-looking approach taken by AOPA.

Following the recent announcement by EASA to include the 860 bands in their uSpace strategy this fantastic work by AOPA Italia will help in the integration of 860 Band systems through both ground-based and aerial-based rebroadcast and relay.

Coincidentally I also heard that 3 more ground stations have been requested in Italy

Just in time to do some Italian flying safari's

Roll on the summer
