ANNUAL USER FEE DECAL

REQUEST – AIRCRAFT

Why you need to get your decal

Restricted Radio Telephone License

DescriptionAn RL generally authorizes the same privileges as a Restricted Radiotelephone Operator

Permit (RR), but is issued only to persons who are NOT legally eligible for employment in the

United States. 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.

QualificationsTo qualify, you must:

-hold a valid United States pilot certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Administration

-hold a foreign aircraft pilot certificate which is valid in the United States on the basis of

a reciprocal agreement with the foreign government

-hold a valid radio station license issued by the FCC in your own name. (An RL issued

on this basis will authorize you to operate your own station only.)

AND you must:

-be able to speak and hear; and

-be able to keep at least a rough written log; and

-be familiar with provisions of applicable treaties, laws and rules which govern the radio

station you will operate.

Term of License An RL is issued for the holder's lifetime.

How to Obtain a License Submit FCC Form 605. There is no proof of passing certificate requirement for an RL. Use the

FCC Form 605 and the FCC Form 159 (fee processing form) to replace a lost, stolen, or

mutilated license.
