robinsm Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Bought an icom A4 out of the states recently. Great radio, works a treat, using it as a backup for my in plane radio. Frequencies correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bidgee Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 you could even use it to transmit if the frequencies are correct Only if you hold a flight radio licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozzie Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Here is a question. the manifest at our local drop zone has decided to get a radio as the primary means of communication after the new gung ho pilot blasted off with only half his load. How can we get the person legal to operate it. ozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bidgee Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 All they need to do is the theory and pass the exam. If you want the details go here - CIVIL AVIATION REGULATIONS 1988 - REG 5.61 What are the qualifications for a flight radiotelephone operator licence?
