Anyone have reference for the FAR requirement to monitor. My company removed the domestic requirement from the operating manual and I want to get it put back in.
It wasn't a requirement at my old company. Company policy was to keep the corresponding VHF freq on #2 for dispatch to Selcal us.
I still do it as AA. It would be nice to hear the call on guard to not cross that runway. After 9/11 it was in the manual and a focus item on evals. If I recall the UHF radio in the military had an ATC+Guard position on the wafer switch so you could monitor both on one radio head.It became a requirement there after SOC with ASA.
At my current company, it used to be one pilot had to monitor it above 18K. Now, the new wAAy is that 121.5 must be monitored any time the #2 radio is not be used for something else (Ops, ATIS, Oceanic Clearance, etc).
Domestically, you're not missing much on Guard. Trust me.
121.5 is serious business. Believe me, if I catch anyone calling ops, or making a PA on guard, you will know about it!

Oh, so it's you! I wonder if a guard meltdown has ever daisy chained coast to coast 100-200 miles at a time?
