Radio License
Hi
This is with regards to the Radio License ("General radiotelephone operatorīs certificate of aeronautical mobile service") that a Pilot would need for VFR flying.
I'm currently based out in Czech Republic and found out that it is not possible to answer the written exam in English there for Radio License. So, does anyone have any idea how to go about and if I can do this somewhere in Austria ? What is the actual process in getting this license ? Do I have to attend some training at FTO or can I study on my own and give the exam ?
Appreciate your help on this. Many thanks.
Cheers,
Patza

For as little as it is worth, here's how things look like in my country:
-) for licences at European level (PPL, CPL, and everything above) the radio exam is covered by the pilot's license exam. So if you carry a JAR/JAA PPL or whatever, this automatically entitles you to operate (registered and certified) radio equipment.
-) for the national licences like ULM, balloon, glider, and probably more in some countries, the radio exam is a separate thing, to be taken at the national level by the candidate's national authority. What languages they accept is theirs to decide - here in Belgium I did all of the radio exam in English, including the informal small talk before and after.

Radio licensing varies from one country to another. In the UK there is a network of radio examiners who conduct the licence examinations, some also offer training.
The UK issue the Flight Radiotelephone (Restricted) licence as defined by the ITU; that is all that a pilot needs. The Flight Radiotelephone (General) licence was for professional radio operators and has not been issued here for about 40 years. The licence is the same for all aircraft and there is no differentiation between flight rules. If a UK FRTOL in English is acceptable to your licensing authority, then contact one of the examiners listed.

as you would not have a licence to which it could be attached
