If you have an aircrew license which will include a radiotelephony license, surely they couldn't prosecute you? Any legal experts on this?
I'd think not. But the fact that we need "legal experts" to answer such a question is a testimony to how cuckoo the legal system has become.
Wow. Just wow. I can understand that steps need to be taken to maintain public safety. But this is stupid beyond belief.
They have all sorts of stupid laws here. I hunted high and low but could not find one that applies directly to listening to ATC.
Cant' imagine needing a license to just listen. Brits have let their pols take a freedom from them. The "Patriot Act" could do the same thing too. Americans must be ever vigilant or their freedoms will be taken in the name of "Protecting the people ". We let the Patriot act continue. TSA ezaminers routinely feel-up women, men, children, and infants. A great place for a guy that gets his jollys off feeling up people or pedophile.
@Harold My personal wish would be one of the rare B-24s. My dad flew them in WWII. He did get the chance to ride aboard as a passenger in his later years. He didn't even mention to the crew that he once piloted those Liberators.
It's funny, everywhere I've lived I point out the nearby bases as landmarks. Never mind "Silicon Valley", etc. It's always been Moffett Field, Edwards AFB and now Davis-Monthan. There's nothing like being near a great flight path.
