Radio-Telephone Operators Permit

[SNIZ]

Pay Online too.

You can also pay the $50 online via credit card. The Web Page will take you there after you complete the Online App. Takes about 20 mins for the whole process.

Good point about the RR code above...that wasn't intuitively obvious on the FCC's page. I recommend printing all the Apps and the Form 159 if you pay online. At least you will have a paper trail when (I mean if) something happens.

In my house when the frau throws away something or stores it somewhere and fails to recall where that somewhere is , we call it "assimilation" aka like the Borg....

Think again. The RTOP is required to fly anywhere outside the USA, including Canada. Of course it's B.S. but you gotta get it anyway.

You DO need it..

if you want to work for ATA. My suggestion is to not waste your time with the forms...call the FCC and have them fax you the simplified forms. Incidentally, you also need a Restricted Radio Operators Permit if you use HF while over the lower 48...

FCC RR licence. Just got it online.

Hi all,

I did get it online yesterday, 23-Dec-2003. no problems.
go get it now.
It used to be free in the US, then $45, now $50..
Who knows what next...


I did get one in 1982 in Israel.
Had to take a morse code test,
Hard written test, oral test, and a test in the air.....
All in english.
(they use hebrew on the Radio in israel, but want all
pilots to get this Israeli RR licence in English, including glider pilots
like I was at the time...).


Now there is no Morse test.....


If anyone is speaking in English while flying in Israel on one of the
channels then all speak english until that plane is changing channels...

so, go get it now....
