HF
ICAO Aeronautical Frequencies
Here is a list of HF frequencies used for commercial aircraft operations. When
an aircraft is beyond the the range of VHF to communicate with A.T.C they rely
much on the use of these HF frequencies. On transoceanic flights VHF is
virtually useless unless they're within line of site to the center they wish to
communicate with. Aircraft communications heard on the ICAO frequencies are
position reports, eta's, weather conditions, and other relevant information
regarding the flight or the aircraft.
*HF = High
frequency
*VHF = Very high
frequency
*USB = Upper side band
*A.T.C = Air traffic
control
*ICAO = International Civil
Aviation Organization
*Eta = Estimated time of
arrival
note: all frequencies are USB mode.
