== 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. | |||
On intitial contact, pilots report altitude, aircraft type and identification, and location relative to the airport and state their intention, to land or overfly. | |||
Pilots give a status report on downwind, base and final approach. | |||
=== FlightGear UNICOM === | |||
FlightGear does not implement UNICOM in its current model of ATC radio. You may choose to use the [[FlightGear IRC channel]] chat room to state intentions if it is not busy, to other Multiplayer aircraft. However, it is not necessary. | |||
