The document is a technical code developed by the Malaysian Technical Standards Forum Bhd (MTSFB) under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588) to establish the minimum requirements applicable to the design, operation, and certification of aeronautical radiocommunication equipment used in air-to-ground and ground-to-air communications in Malaysian civil aviation.

This revision replaces the previous version, MCMC MTSFB TC T020:2023, rendering the previous version invalid insofar as it conflicts with the new document.

The purpose of the code is to ensure the interoperability and security of network facilities, as well as the proper management of the radio spectrum.

WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?

The direct impact is on the Malaysian civil aeronautical industry, radiocommunication equipment manufacturers, airlines, UAS system operators, air navigation service providers, and entities responsible for certification and spectrum use.

CONCLUSION:

This revision marks a key update that redefines the technical standards for aeronautical communications in Malaysia, forcing manufacturers, operators, and regulators to adapt to ensure safety, efficiency, and optimal spectrum use in civil aviation and UAS operations.
