CTAF/UNICOM

Aiports (in the United States) lacking a tower are sometimes served by a UNICOM radio. The UNICOM frequency gives pilots a common channel to communicate their intentions to other pilots in the vicinity of an uncontrolled airport.

It is generally required that pilots of aircraft having radio equipment permitting two-way communications should contact the Airport UNICOM to obtain advisory information and announce their intentions when within ten (10) miles of the Airport. Pilots are also encouraged to maintain a listening watch on the frequency when operating within a ten mile radius of the Airport. All departing aircraft shall announce on the UNICOM their intention and runway to be used for departure.

FlightGear UNICOM

FlightGear does not implement UNICOM in its current model of ATC radio. You may choose to use the IRC chat room to state intentions if it is not busy, to other Multiplayer aircraft. However, it is not necessary.
