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
119.100 Unattended airfields
128.950 Aircraft to aircraft only
133.350 Hang-gliders
133.375 Microlights

133.550 Gliders
133.575 Radio Reporter
133.600 Radio reporter
133.625 Parachutists
134.000 General air-to-ground and air-to-air
134.350 Forest fire fighting
134.450 Gliders
134.475 Gliders
134.500 Unattended airfields
134.550 Forest fire fighting
134.600 Forest fire fighting
134.750 Forest fire fighting
134.850 Gliders
134.875 Gliders
134.900 Fish spotting
134.950 Air patrol

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
960 – 1215 DME – distance measuring equipment transponder
TACAN – tactical air navigation
SSR – secondary surveillance radar
ACAS – airborne collision avoidance system
UAT(ADS-B) – universal access transceiver automatic dependent surveillance broadcast
4200 – 4400 Radio altimeter
5350 – 5470 Airborne weather radar
8750 – 8850 Airborne doppler radar
13250 – 13400 Airborne doppler radar
