    That should be RADIO STATION LICENSE. That is the document that corresponds to the radio in the aircraft. The Radio Telephone Operators Permit is what the pilot would have to be legal to talk on the radio.

    HOWEVER, the good new is that all changed maybe ten years ago. Now, unless you plan to leave the country, neither document has to be aboard the aircraft and you do not have to get a Radio Telephone Operators Permit.

    So, if the day comes that you get a job flying out of the country, then think back on this and make sure you have the right stuff. Until then, don’t worry about it.
