Knowledge Requirements for Radio Theory

In plain language

You must be familiar with radio wave propagation, RF interference, spectrum analyzers, and frequency bands to pass your pilot exam and operate safely.

Requirement as structured

The RPA pilot must understand radio theory, including radio wave propagation, RF interference, RF environment assessment, and frequency bands used in navigation and communication.

Original regulatory text
