Sec. 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.
