Apply for an Aircraft Station Licence call sign

Description

For communication and navigation, aircraft and balloons use the frequencies of aeronautical and air navigation radio. The Federal Network Agency manages the corresponding frequency ranges. If you want to participate in aeronautical and air navigation radio, you need a call sign for the aeronautical station of your aircraft.

The callsign will be issued to you upon application in the form of an Aircraft Station License by the Federal Network Agency.

You must submit an application when you become the owner of an aircraft with an aeronautical station. An aircraft is, for example, an airplane or a balloon.

If you already have an Aircraft Station License and the following changes occur, you must submit a change application:

Changes to the aircraft's radio equipment

Changes to your domestic receiving agent
