“pilots on international flights must obtain a Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit from the FCC”
Does this include flights in North America? In particular, as to my interest, Canada. Didn’t know if there are special rules for our bordering neighbors.
This is simply advertising. There is not additional value offered by the author of the article which looks like AI to me.
Looks like one of the advertisers sells the portables in question. I guess this is the new bosses implementing their new management style. Editorial content friendly to sponsors has long been expected, especially for “free” media…
I think if you have the right shoes for pilots and own the right headset for pilots you may not need a FCC license for your handheld radio for pilots.
Could be wrong, though.
