In my Guard unit we use 123.45 to BS on. Perfect Freq.

 

[Hypoxik]

That would definantly turn into a safety of flight issue...can you imagine!?!?!

 

[CaptSeth]

123.45 is designated for oceanic air-to-air operations. Use of this frequency for anything else is prohibited IAW FCC and international agreement.

 

[wmuflyguy]

That way I can hear Genreal Lee and the ASA pilots yell at one another, instead of jsut reading it and imagine.

 

[Flyerjosh]

122.75 and 122.85 are air to air common freqs.

 

[Windsor]

Do you think anyone would be able to get a word in once the General got on freq?

We'd probably have to set up a dual frequency "tower/monitor" thing like they do on ILS/PRM approaches as a back up.

Would the use of 123.45 over say.... Green Bay or Hoboken have an adverse effect on the oceanic aircraft?

In fact, yes it can. I was recently chatting with another company plane on 123.45 at FL350 between CRG and SPA, and our conversation was joined by a few planes mid-pond asking us to please knock it off. Due to the kind of funky atmospheric bounces that happen on clear nights, they were hearing us clearly over 2000 miles away. This is not that uncommon..

My God, I thought people would laugh at this idea...instead you are all talking about how cool it is.

123.45 is the offical alert area frequency for common traffic advisory west of KFLL. It has been designated by the FAA. Whether or not the FCC knows about is unknown. No one has ever said anything to any pilot talking there in the 4 years I have been flying in South Florida.

 

[The_Russian]

I think its a great idea. Let's get a frequency. I wanna talk to you guys.

How do you know they were mid pond? There are off shore airways off of the entire east coast.

Conversation involved flight numbers, and I asked them. The one that I spoke directly with was DL58 ATL-LGW, who was at 55N 30W in the tracks at the time. See:

for the distance estimate, it's around 2400nm..

You were probably joined with the airport janitor, who was out practicing touch and goes in a Tomahawk. It's not your fault that you didn't know any better.

Those boys have nothing to complain about. 90% of the chatter on 123.45 is either people getting the answers to a quartely test or bashing JetBlue pilots. The latter is actually kind of funny to listen to.

Get a freaking life you goofball, it's a joke.

Interesting......

If true, I don't see it as a big problem. As was said above, most of the chat over the pond is BS stuff to either keep you awake or bash someone else.

Jesus H. Christ Learlove you need to get laid more then anyone else in the history of aviation.

 

[DoinTime]

why dont we just use 121.5 nobody uses it anyway

YOUR ON GUARD!!!

 

[Crzipilot]

Actually 123.45 in the old days, was an unofficial air-air for years. Pilots used it around the world, for a myraid of things. Wasn't untill late 90's or so, that ICAO or whomever finally decided since it's used all the time anyways, to actually publish it. And now as some have posted, it's viewed as the for the sole use of those going across the pond. Oh well.....old things sometimes never die.
