Aeronautical Radio Operator Certificate (AROC)
An Aeronautical Radio Operator Certificate (AROC) is required by anyone who needs to communicate on an aviation air-band radio frequency and is not already licenced or qualified.
This includes aircraft maintenance engineers, maintenance organisations and remote pilot licence (RePL) holders. Other people who need an AROC may also include airport or emergency personnel.
