Unattended Aerodromes

At an unattended aerodrome, there is no ATC service controlling aircraft movements.

Pilots are responsible for:

  • maintaining a good lookout;
  • listening for other aircraft;
  • making appropriate radio broadcasts; and
  • safely sequencing themselves with other traffic.

 

Radio Frequency

Use the published unattended aerodrome frequency shown on the applicable aeronautical chart or aerodrome plate.

Where an unattended aerodrome does not have a designated frequency, use:

119.1 MHz

119.1 MHz should normally be used only within 10 NM of the aerodrome.

Do not use 119.1 MHz as a general chat frequency.

 

Radio Calls

Radio calls should be:

  • clear;
  • concise;
  • relevant; and
  • made using standard phraseology where possible.
