§ 97.11   Stations aboard ships or aircraft.

   (a) 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.

   (b) 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.

   (c) 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.
