AIRCRAFT STATION LICENSING REQUIREMENTS

The Telecommunications Act of 1996, effective February 8, 1996, provides the FCC discretion to eliminate radio
station license requirements for aircraft and ships. The GTX 330 installation must comply with current transmitter
licensing requirements. To find out the specific details on whether a particular installation is exempt from licensing,
please see FCC Fact Sheet PR 5000 or contact the FCC at (800)-322-1117.
If an aircraft license is required, make application for a license on FCC form 404, Application for Aircraft Radio
Station License. The FCC also has a fax-on-demand service to provide forms by fax at (202)-418-0177.
The GTX 330 owner accepts all responsibility for obtaining the proper licensing before using the transponder.
