Discussion paper - Frequency use at low level in Class G airspace (DP 1610AS)
The purpose of this Discussion Paper (DP) is to consider the most appropriate very high frequency (VHF) radio frequency for pilots to use at low level in Class G airspace.

The regulation does not specify which frequency to use, other than ‘the... MoreClosed 19 September 2017 -
