5680

Post by CruiserNU »

Can anyone give me the current status of 5680 kHz?

Who monitors that frequency?
Can I file or close a flight plan on 5680?

Thanks.

From AIP Canada Section 1 GEN 3.4
Frequency 5,680 kHz provides long-range air-ground communications coverage in the remote areas of Canada for the provision of FISE beyond the range of VHF communications. Aircraft must use HF-SSB when communicating on 5,680 kHz.
The following RCO locations provide FISE on the 5,680 kHz frequency:
Table 3.4.3.2, RCO Locations
RCO Location. ATS
Baker Lake, NU Winnipeg FIC. (Changed to Edmonton FIC)
Inuvik, NT. Edmonton FIC
Iqaluit, NU Québec FIC
Kuujjuaq, QC Québec FIC
Kuujjuarapik, QC Québec FIC
Resolute Bay, NU Edmonton FIC
Roberval, QC. Québec FIC
St. Anthony, NL Halifax FIC
Yellowknife, NT. Edmonton FIC

For maps showing the NAV CANADA FISE RCO locations, their radio call signs, and their frequencies, refer to the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS), Section C, “Planning”.

The FICs have assumed the responsibility for flight plans, filing, in-flight alerting, flight plan closures, interpretive weather briefings and NOTAM (NOtices To AirMen) management. The FICs also have large areas they are overseeing and have networks of RCOs,

Phone calls/inter web are preferred, but you do what you have to, from where you is.

Thank you very much. There's more coverage that I would have thought.
