Hi all,

studying some Enroute Charts I've discovered Air to Air frequencies, I googled a bit but I found different and discordant answers on what is their usage, so here you are my questions:

 

1) What is the purpose of Air to Air frequencies?

2) Are they implemented in Vatsim with* UNICOM?

 

Thank you in advance!

used mainly for communications between aircraft, IE formation flying, etc.. its heavily used during air shows sometimes between the pilots. not supposed to be used for personal coms, IE you shouldnt be talking about that date you had last night with some young lady. although often misused

 

no they arent implemented on VATSIM. we only use one frequency to keep it simple. there are some areas that do it differently, like Australia, but majority of vatsim is on a single frequency. there is no rule though that if you and your buddy want to tune 122.75 on com2 that you cant do that. itll be text only, but you certainly can

Thank you for your answer.

My request about implementation was more in an as real as it gets fashion, so if it was used as in reality and, maybe, with a permanent voice room.

For chit chat purposes there are pvt messages so it was not the case.

 

Thank you!
