Operate Radio Attestation For Free

The FCC has two licenses that are of interest to pilots and Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMTs). One is a Commercial Radio Operator License, which applies to pilots and those who work the equipment (avionics technicians). The other is a station license required for the aircraft.

How to Obtain a License. Submit FCC Form 605 along with the appropriate Proof of Passing Certificates to apply. (You do NOT need to submit FCC Form 159 (fee processing form) or any fees.) Many Commercial Operator License Examination Managers (COLEMs) file these documents for applicants who test with them.

The FCC Commercial Radio Operator License comes in different grades. Pilots can operate the radio with a lesser grade certificate, called the ?Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit (RR).? This license is for most aircraft, aeronautical ground stations, and marine radiotelephone stations on pleasure vessels.

Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit-Limited Use (RL) However, if your eligibility for an RL is based on your holding of a valid FCC radio station license, then the RL authorizes you to operate only your licensed radio station, and no other radio station.

Under general supervision, Marine Radio Officers perform or supervise the operat= ing, maintaining, and repairing of radio telephone/telegraph/teletype communications equipment and other electronic equipment aboard ship or at a shore facility; and perform other related duties as required.

The classes of license, from highest to lowest are: Amateur Extra Class, General Class, and Technician Class. Before receiving a license grant, you must pass an examination administered by a team of volunteer examiners (VEs).

If you want to fly an aircraft outside the US, you will need an authorisation called FCC (Federal Communications Commission). To receive your FRN (FCC Registration Number) you will need to fill the form 605 online. Register and log at .
