Can Planes talk to each other?

Re: Can aircraft pilots communicate with each other? Yes, very normal and routine for planes to talk to each other or for planes to talk to their base. They would not be able to use cell phones, which are basically designed for terrestrial operation only. 3.

What radio frequency do planes use?

Legally, for air-to-air communications between private, fixed-wing aircraft, there is just one authorized frequency: 122.75 MHz. For general aviation helicopters: 123.025 MHz. Gliders and hot air balloons share 123.3 and 123.5 MHz.

Can you use a ham radio to talk to airplanes?

Some private pilots who are Hams have installed Amateur Radios in their planes, or carried handheld radios with them. So by using ham radio, you could listen and talk to airplanes. (And ships, and spacecraft, and cars and trains, and houses, etc…)

Is it possible to listen to CB radio on an airplane?

Airplane frequencies (at least the ones in use now) are VHF (just above the FM band); CB is near the top edge of HF (around 27 MHz), so a CB radio wouldn’t do you any good. You can listen, but I believe transmitting is very tightly constrained.

What is the best way to listen to aviation frequencies?

Radios capable of receiving aviation frequencies are readily available either as dedicated aircraft radios, general purpose scanners or amateur (“ham”) transceivers. If you have a few hundred dollars you can listen to your heart’s content. I routinely listen to BWI and Andrews AFB traffic on my ham VHF/UHF radio.
