Engineering:MULTICOM
From HandWiki
In U.S. and Canadian aviation, MULTICOM is a frequency allocation used as a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) by aircraft near airports where no air traffic control is available.[1] Despite the use of uppercase letters, MULTICOM is not an abbreviation or acronym.
Frequency allocations vary from region to region.
- United States
- there is one MULTICOM frequency: 122.9 MHz. (See AIM table 4-1-2 or AIM table 4โ1โ1) At uncontrolled airports without a UNICOM, pilots are to self-announce on the MULTICOM frequency.
- Australia

- Brazil
