- These are for wrote from FCC part 97.11
- The installation and operation of an amateur station on a ship or aircraft
- must be approved by the master of the ship or pilot in command of the aircraft.
-
- The station must be separate from and independent of all other radio apparatus
- installed on the ship or aircraft, except a common antenna may be shared with a
- voluntary ship radio installation. The station's transmissions must not cause
- interference to any other apparatus installed on the ship or aircraft.
-
- The station must not constitute a hazard to the safety of life or property.
- For a station aboard an aircraft, the apparatus shall not be operated while
- the aircraft is operating under Instrument Flight Rules, as defined by the FAA,
- unless the station has been found to comply with all applicable FAA Rules.
-
- Unquote---
- I know these rules are meant for transmitting equipment but for the most part
- they apply to any device that had incidental radiation. Incidental radiation
- occurs in any radio which is why you are not even supposed to use your
- Walk Man on a plane.
-
- Sort of on the same subject, you are not allowed to use your cellular phone
- while it is in the air either. You must use the phone on the plane while
- it is airborne.
