Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Knowledge Requirements

In plain language

You need to know what causes electromagnetic interference (including space weather/K index), what harmonic radiation is, and how to minimize interference.

Requirement as structured

TCCA guidance specifies that RPA pilots operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to identify EMI sources (including the K index), describe harmonic radiation, and use EMI measurements to minimize interference.

Original regulatory text

The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - Identify the potential sources of EMI in a RPAS operating environment, including the K index. - Describe harmonic radiation and the effect it can have on radio signals. - Understand how to use EMI measurements to minimize C2 link interference.
