IMPORTANT!
The Telecommunications Act of 1996, effective February 8, 1996, provides
the FCC discretion to eliminate radio station license requirements for aircraft
and ships. At the present time, you do not need an individual license to operate
the GPS COM 190 aboard your private aircraft in many circumstances. To find
out the specilic details on whether you are exempt from licensing, please see
FCC Fact Sheet PR 6000 or contact the FCC at 1-800-322M117.
Note that no license is required for a portable radio used only as a backup on
an aircraft which already has a station license per FCC 404 Instructions dated
1994.
If an aircraft license is required or desired, contact the FCC at
