§ 97.11   Stations aboard ships or aircraft.

   (a)  The installation and operation of an amateur station on a ship or
   aircraft must be approved by the master of the ship or pilot in command of
   the aircraft.

   (b) The station must be separate from and independent of all other radio
   apparatus installed on the ship or aircraft, except a common antenna may be
   shared with a voluntary ship radio installation. The station's transmissions
   must not cause interference to any other apparatus installed on the ship or
   aircraft.

   (c)  The station must not constitute a hazard to the safety of life or
   property. For a station aboard an aircraft, the apparatus shall not be
   operated while the aircraft is operating under Instrument Flight Rules, as
   defined by the FAA, unless the station has been found to comply with all
   applicable FAA Rules.
