| 8965 – 9040 | OR |
Note: The frequencies 3023 kHz and 5680 kHz may be employed for co-ordinated search and rescue operations with the maritime mobile service.
Second Schedule
The frequency bands, power and designations of emissions applying to aeronautical radiocommunications in very high frequency (VHF) bands are:
| Frequency Range (MHz) | Maximum Transmitter Carrier Power | Classes of Emissions |
|---|---|---|
| 117.975 – 137 | 14 dBW | A3E and A9W |
The following frequencies have been allocated for specific purposes on a national basis, and communications must conform to these provisions:
| Frequency (MHz) | Service Allocations |
|---|---|

Note: Except for 128.950 MHz, land mobile and maritime mobile transmitters may also use these frequencies to communicate with aircraft for the purpose specified.
Third Schedule
The frequency bands and purposes applying to aircraft radiocommunications in ultra high frequency (UHF) and super high frequency (SHF) bands are:
| Frequency Band | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 1610 – 1660.5 MHz | MSS (mobile satellite service) – aircraft transmit |
| 14.0 – 14.5 GHz | AMSS (aeronautical mobile satellite service) – aircraft transmit |
Fourth Schedule
The frequency bands and purposes applying to aircraft radio determination transmissions are:
| Frequency Range (MHz) | Purpose |
