Who makes the radio rules

1 viewOct 1, 2026

Every call follows rules from four levels, from a UN agency down to your own country. You learn who decides what, the legal names for stations and services, and which messages may go on the air at all.

What you learn

  • Explain why the state you fly over rules its airwaves
  • Say what the ITU, ICAO, SERA and each state decide
  • Tell an aircraft station from an aeronautical station
  • Tell the aeronautical mobile service from the fixed service
  • Say which messages an aircraft station may send
