The aeronautical fixed service (AFS) is

a telecommunication service between specified
fixed points provided primarily for the safety of air
navigation and for the regular, efficient and
economical operation of air services. "Air service"
means any scheduled air service performed by
aircraft for the public transport of passengers,
mail or cargo.) The AFS is provided by voice and
data networks, including:
However, any
aeronautical radiocommunication between
specified fixed points belongs in accordance
with article 1.20 of the International
Telecommunication Unions (ITU) Radio
Regulations (RR) to the Fixed service.
Aeronautical mobile service (short: AMS; |
also: aeronautical mobile
radiocommunication service') is according
to Article 1.32 of theInternational
Telecommunication Unions (ITU) Radio
Regulations (RR)[1] defined as A mobile
service between aeronautical stations andaircraft
stations, or between aircraft stations, in
which survival craft stations may
participate; emergency position-indicating
radiobeacon stations may also participate in this
service on designated distress and emergency
frequencies.
Aeronautical radionavigation
service (short: ARNS) is according to Article
1.46 of the International Telecommunication
Unions (ITU)Radio Regulations (RR)[1] defined as
A radionavigation service intended for the
benefit and for the safe operation of aircraft.
This service is a so-called safety-of-life service,
must be protected for Interferences, and is
essential part of Navigation.

Amateur services

Amateur-Satellite
Service

Amateur radio (also called ham radio) describes the use

of radio frequency spectrum for purposes of noncommercial exchange of messages, wireless experimentation,
self-training, private recreation, radiosport, contesting, and
emergency communication. The term "amateur" is used to
specify "a duly authorised person interested in radioelectric
practice with a purely personal aim and without pecuniary
interest;"[1] (either direct monetary or other similar reward) and to
differentiate it from commercial broadcasting, public safety (such
as police and fire), or professional two-way radio services (such
as maritime, aviation, taxis, etc.).

Amateur-satellite service (also: amateur-satellite

radiocommunication service) is according to Article 1.57 of
the International Telecommunication Unions (ITU) Radio
Regulations (RR)[1] defined as A radiocommunication service
using space stations on earthsatellites for the same purposes as
those of the amateur service.
