              Subpart C--Radio Control (R/C) Radio Service

Sec. 95.217  (R/C Rule 17) May I operate my R/C station transmitter by remote control?

    (a) You may not operate an R/C transmitter by radio remote control.
(See R/C Rule 12, Sec. 95.212.)
    (b) You may operate an R/C transmitter by wireline remote control if
you obtain specific approval in writing from the FCC. To obtain FCC
approval, you must show why you need to operate your station by wireline
remote control. If you receive FCC approval, you must keep the approval
as part of your station records. See R/C Rule 24, Sec. 95.224.
    (c) Remote control means operation of an R/C transmitter from any
place other than the location of the R/C transmitter. Direct mechanical
control or direct electrical control by wire from some point on the same
premises, craft or vehicles as the R/C transmitter is not considered
remote control.
