This is the same FCC license needed to fulfill your Airframe/Poweplant Certification. We issue at exam completion, a ‘Proof of Passing’ Certificate. There is no difference in this license certification from any you might receive in an A/P Tech School or program.
EXCEPT THE PRICE!
It’s a GROL that’s all you need to know. There is no special GROL for AIRMEN, or Mariners, or radio Technicians, they are all the same!

Airmen, in order to fix radars, aircraft radios, and transponders in todays aircraft, the FCC requires you to hold a GROL license.
