What happened to 122.75?

[ahramin]

Am I on glue? Isn't the air to air frequency 122.75 anymore?

[Loon-A-Tic]

Not sure, who remembers "go standard"

[Heliian]

126.7

I'm a helicopter!

[valleyboy]

air to air chit chat was usually 123.45

[Loon-A-Tic]

Nowadays it seems to be all on "guard", its time for some educating

[NotDirty!]

I found it somewhere in between 122.72 and 122.77. But I don’t have 8.33 kHz spacing, so YMMV

122.75 is Apron frequency at YYZ

123.45 is air to air chit chat

I don’t think that’s right...every chart I’m looking at says 122.275 and 122.075 and I’ve never been on 122.75 there.

Go guns: 130.30

Go Canada: 118.67

Cheap suit: 129.95

Go company: What’s company?

Back in the UHF days in Europe, if an aircraft came up along side of you and made motions like "chambering a round" in a lever action rifle or the Lead said "Go Winchester", you dialed in 303.0

It is and always has been, but since when has any pilot actually bothered to RTFM? See this thread for example.

Exactly, my problem is I can't find it in the manual anymore. Can you?

I thought 122.75 is VFR air to air. IFR was 123.45

[AR705]

I always thought that 122.75 was air to air in Canada. Have had other pilots look at my strangely though when I suggested it!

Did some looking b/c couldn't recall where I've seen that... For one, check out Nav Canada's RCO Brochure:

https://www.navcanada.ca/EN/products-an ... ure-EN.pdf

Says: "Any pilot-to-pilot communications not for this purpose should be conducted on 122.75 MHz (within the Canadian Southern Domestic Airspace) or 123.45 MHz (within the Northern Domestic Airspace and the North Atlantic)."

"This purpose" being reference to 126.7 position reports etc... Good enough for me!

Don’t forget 122.87 for apron coordinator....

[Aviatard]

AIP Canada (ICAO) GEN 3.4.3.2:

For air-to-air communications between pilots within Canadian Southern Domestic Airspace (SDA), the correct
frequency to use is 122.75 MHz; in the Northern Domestic Airspace (NDA) and the NAT, the frequency
allocated by ICAO is 123.45 MHz.

A further expansion:

Air traffic service (ATS) frequencies are published in the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS), in the Canada Air
Pilot (CAP), and on aeronautical charts.
Frequency 123.4 MHz is allocated for the use of soaring activities, which include balloons, gliders, sailplanes,
ultralights and hang gliders. The use of this frequency for these activities includes air-to-air, air-to-ground
instructional and air-to-ground aerodrome traffic communications; the use of this frequency as an aerodrome
traffic frequency (ATF) is normally restricted to privately operated aerodromes used primarily for these
activities.
For air-to-air communications between pilots within Canadian Southern Domestic Airspace (SDA), the correct
frequency to use is 122.75 MHz; in the Northern Domestic Airspace (NDA) and the NAT, the frequency
allocated by ICAO is 123.45 MHz

[CpnCrunch]

Yep, still in the cap gen as mentioned above. If you google "122.75 site:navcanada.ca" it's the 2nd result.

My mistake. Thanks for the correction.

Oh yes yes. Must not forget to call fully ready.
