FCC Restricted Radio Permit

[Luke Froese]

Has anyone gotten their FCC Restricted Radio Permit recently. Trying to do it online is not straight-forward at all. I've googled how to do it and I still don't get it. Am I making it harder than it is? Can anyone give me the FCC RR Permit for dummies version?

Online's the easiest. I believe it's a 605 you're looking for, but it's been awhile for me too.

And is the RR form, not AC

Yep, I was thinking the same... it would be pretty straight forward, boy was I wrong. I believe you have to click under the ULS link, and they give you a reference number, which you use to log into the system, but you need to register first in order to get that... good luck we are all counting on you!

Looking through friends airline apps, I keep seeing this on there......is this something we are prequalified for, given FAA cert holder, or do you need to do something extra to get it?

It's the radio equivalent of a fishing license.

It's an extra you must have to comply with ICAO. Other countries do separate radio exams.

Or a dog license, used to have those...

Copy. And sorry what I meant was is this a requirement specific to baseline 121 ops? 135 too? Or is it just specific to international flying/HF oceanic route usage regardless of type of operation/part (the last was my guess).....nobody I know who has one seems to know the reason why.

Something to do with international radio communications.

I just applied for mine last week, used this step by step guide which worked. Way more complicated of a process than it needs to be.

Anyone figure out how to change an address on an existing permit?

No, it's valid for life.

Like everything else, you have to submit the change through the FCC's ULS.

Dealing with the FCC, even a little, will make you appreciate the FAA a lot more. ;p

Got to pay your FCC $75 tax.
