RP holders are authorized to operate most aircraft and aeronautical ground stations. They can also operate marine radiotelephone stations aboard pleasure craft (other than those carrying more than six passengers for hire on the Great Lakes or bays or tidewaters or in the open sea) when operator licensing is required. To obtain this permit, you must be able to speak and hear; and keep a written log; and be familiar with provisions of applicable treaties, laws and rules which govern the radio station you will operate.
