N Reg Radio Lic,

[Scottishflyer182]

Hi,

I have recently purchased a new N Reg aircraft. Going over all my paper work etc. I can't find any Radio Lic.

Is this required for a N Reg in the Uk. If so would I apply to the CAA in the Normal way.

Cheers

You do need a radio licence. You can get one online at www.fcc.com

A little known fact is that FAA licenced pilots also need a US radio licence if flying an aircraft outside of the US. This is also obtainable online.

You need TWO radio licenses.

One comes from the FCC.

The other comes from your N-reg trustee.

hi Julian,

I've had a look at FCC. I can't find where to apply for my Radio Licence. (sorry).

Can you point me in the right direction.

Thanks

FCC Docs

As explained above, you need 2 radio licences -
The first one is your personal licence = "Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Certificate" -
You should have it with you when operating the radio, as well as anyone else flying your aircraft should have such.

The other one is the aircraft's "Station Licence" -
That one should be posted inside the aircraft, alongside the Regstration and Airworthiness certificates.
Info on the US FCC sites indicated above...

Happy contrails
