B7.3.5.1 The AFF aircraft hardware must be powered by the aircraft’s electrical system, installed per the manufacturer’s installation manual, and operational in all phases of flight.

AFF aircraft hardware must utilize as a minimum: Satellite communications, an externally or internally mounted antenna, provide data to the Government’s AFF viewing software, use aircraft power via a dedicated circuit breaker for power protection, and be mounted so as to not endanger any occupant from AFF aircraft hardware during periods of turbulence. Antennas should be placed where they have the best view of the overhead sky as possible. Externally mounted antennas are recommended to improve system performance. Any visual indicators for remotely installed units must be mounted so that they can be easily viewed by the pilot.

B7.3.5.2 AFF communications must be fully operational in all 50 states. Contractors working in or accepting dispatches to the State of Alaska, Southern Canada, or Western Canada must have an AFF system capable of being tracked in these locations at all times. Not all manufacturers’ AFF equipment communication links will operate effectively in all geographic areas.

B7.3.5.3 The contractor must maintain a subscription service through the AFF aircraft hardware provider allowing AFF position reporting for satellite tracking via the Government AFF viewing software. The position-reporting interval must be every two minutes while the aircraft is in flight. The contractor must register their AFF aircraft hardware with the Government through https://www.aff.gov providing:

complete tail number; manufacturer and serial number of the AFF transceiver; aircraft make and model; and contractor contact information. If the contractor relocates previously registered AFF aircraft hardware into another aircraft, then the contractor must contact the government’s AFF Program making the appropriate changes prior to aircraft use. In all cases, the contractor must ensure that the correct aircraft information is indicated within AFF. The contractor must contact the Government of system changes, scheduled maintenance, and planned service outages

B7.3.5.4 Registration contact information, a web accessible feedback form, and additional information is available at:

B7.3.5.5 Prior to the aircraft’s annual contract inspection, the contractor must ensure compliance with all AFF systems requirements. The contractor must additionally perform an operational check of the system. As a minimum, the operational check must consist of confirming the aircraft being tested is displayed in AFF (indicating it is currently transmitting data to AFF) and that all information displayed in AFF is current. A username and password are required to https://www.aff.gov/

access AFF. Log on to the AFF website at:

https://www.aff.gov to request a username and password, or contact the FASD.

B7.3.5.6 If AFF becomes inoperable/unreliable the aircraft may, at the discretion of the Government, remain available for service utilizing radio/voice system for flight following. The contractor will return the AFF system to full operational capability within 72 hours after the inoperative/unreliable unit is first discovered as defective.

B7.3.5.7 This clause incorporates Specification Section Supplement available at:

https://www.aff.gov/contractspecs with the same force and affect as if they were presented as full text herein.

B7.3.6.2 The Iridium phone system audio must be permanently interfaced to the aircraft audio system in the same manner as the aircraft radios, so that the pilot and observer/copilot can utilize the SatPhone via their headsets.

It is preferred that all occupants of the aircraft be able to converse over the SatPhone through their headsets, though keypad access may be limited to the two front seat occupants.

B7.3.6.3 The SatPhone system must provide the capability to pre-program at least six (6) telephone numbers that can be quickly selected by either front seat occupant while in flight.

B7.3.6.4 A TSO C-129a L-band antenna, acceptable to the manufacturer of the SatPhone system, must be installed on top of the fuselage, giving as much a view of the overhead hemisphere as possible.

B7.3.6.5 The SatPhone system may be integrated into the Automated Flight Following system (see B7.3.5) using either the same Iridium communicator or a separate Iridium communicator. In the former case, it is acceptable for phone calls to interrupt the transmission of AFF position reports for brief periods of time, and flight crews must be instructed as to this conflict.
