Well you go to the above link and follow instructions for a RR certificate.Ita couple of small forms to fill out and submit online and you get your licence mailed to wherever you are ..60 USD is what they charge for fee.


good luck

Radio licence is nothing to do with the FAA ATP. It's not a requirement to hold the radio lic. in order to hold the ATP however it *is* a requirement to hold the radio lic. if you venture outside the US and wish to use R/T. Most companies will require you to have the radio lic. as a result.

The radio permit is issued by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). They are the US government agency responsible for issuing all radio and TV licenses, permits, etc.

Just looking into this more deeply. Wont my JAA R/T licence suffice??

You have to give us more so we can point you on the right direction. Why do you need an FCC radio license? Are you planning to work for US based airlines?

The requirement for the US FCC Restricted Radiotelephone Operators Permit has nothing to do with who your employer is.

If one flies an N registered aircraft outside the U.S. then you must have this permit in your possession.

Technically only the person who transmits on the aircraft radio/s is required to have this license, but to be pragmatic both should have the license in a two-pilot aircraft.

No, because it is radio equipment, being operated on a FCC Radio Station Licence. It is like saying "won't my JAA pilot license suffice for operating a US registered aircraft? Or if I need an FAA pilot certificate, can I keep it valid with my JAA Medical?"

go on a search engine, and look for restricted use Radio operators licences, by FCC.

Or read post no 2, and use this link.

They provide forms, and all data needed to issue a FCC licence based on your JAA RT licence.
Small fee, and all done.
You need one for operation of an N reg aircraft outside the USA. and especially if you are applying for RVSM or similar ratings.
OK?
