Why a Flight Radio Telephony Operator's License (FRTOL) is Essential for Every Aviation Pilot

The Flight Radio Telephony Operator's License (FRTOL) authorizes you to operate an Aircraft Radio Station in a registered aircraft.

The license is held in conjunction with another Flight Crew license. A holder of a valid FRTOL shall have the privilege to use the radio telephone on board an aircraft.

To obtain a FRTOL, one has to sit and pass written examination and a practical oral examination before being an eligible applicant.

Validity

This license is valid for two (2) years from the date of application.

A holder of a flight radio telephony operator license may apply for a renewal of the license if the holder has exercised the privileges of the license in the six months preceding the date of application.
