§ 87.18   Station license required.

   (a) Except as noted in paragraph (b) of this section, stations in the
   aviation service must be licensed by the FCC either individually or by
   fleet.

   (b) An aircraft station is licensed by rule and does not need an
   individual license issued by the FCC if the aircraft station is not
   required by statute, treaty, or agreement to which the United States is
   signatory to carry a radio, and the aircraft station does not make
   international flights or communications. Even though an individual
   license is not required, an aircraft station licensed by rule must be
   operated in accordance with all applicable operating requirements,
   procedures, and technical specifications found in this part.
