AERONAUTICAL COMMUNICATIONS

AERO COMMUNICATIONS:

All commercial carriers navigate established flyways in the sky.
Although invisible to the eye, these air routes, defined by
geographical coordinates, are much the same as automobile
highways. At predetermined positions along these flyways,
aircraft are required to report in to a ground station. Those
stations involved primarily with domestic or regional flights are
designated "Flight Service Stations." The long range route
stations are called "International Flight Service Stations." each
of these FSS or IFSS air traffic control (ATC) facilities have
geographical boundaries assigned to them, creating Major World
Air Route Areas. Any aircraft flying within or through a MWARA
must establish a "guard" with that ground facility.
     The bulk of traffic you hear on the HF aero frequencies
concerns the air route progress of an aircraft, while on a
particular flyway. Normally, the data passed consists of:
position, time at position, next estimated position, time of
arrival at next estimated position, and flight level. During
"guard" changes, the pre-filed flight plan information is given.
This includes departure point/time, destination, and estimated
time of arrival. It is therefore a simple task for an aircraft
buff to chart the progress of a particular airliner from the
comfort of an easy chair.
     As established by international agreement, on all
intercontinental oceanic air routes, the mandatory communicative
language is English. This does not preclude communications in a
language common to both the aircraft and the ground station, such
as French between Air France and Papeete, or Spanish between
AeroMexico and Bogota.

AIRLINE ID's: Most use their company names, i.e. Air France,
Quantas, United, etc. Several airline companies have their own
personalized callsigns:
     CLIPPER - Pan American World Airways
     SABENA - Belgian World Airlines
     SPEEDBIRD - British Airways
     SPRINGBOK - South African Airways

FREQUENCY USAGE: En route aircraft, regardless of their position,
are rarely ever more than a few thousand miles from the nearest
ground station. Thus, there exists little reason for the
establishment of long-distance ground-to-air HF comm circuits.
This means the selection of frequencies or bands which will
propagate either directly or within one hop from the ground
station to the aircraft. As a rule of thumb, most comms will
occur on the lowest available frequency that can be used at any
particular hour, local time. For example, New York might easily
communicate with an aircraft in the mid-Atlantic on a frequency
of 13306 kHz during midday, EST; as sunset approaches, the same
path would use 8825 kHz; and when both the aircraft and New York
are in total darkness, the best frequency would be 5598 kHz or
even 3016 kHz. Using another example of an aircraft flying over
the South China Sea, in communication with Hong Kong ground
station: at 1200 hours Hong Kong time (0400 UTC or 2300 EST),
comms might use 13300 kHz; by 1900 HKT (1100 UTC or 0600 EST),
they may move down to 8903 or 6562 kHz; and by 0000 HKT (1600 UTC
or 1100 EST) they might go down as far as 4666 or 2998 kHz.
     You can see from the above that frequencies are selected for
best regional coverage, not for long-distance reception. Combine
this with the low transmitting power used by these stations, and
you have a real DX'ing challenge. Hearing aero stations from more
than 8000 miles distant isn't impossible..it just seems that way!


SELCAL, MODES, ETC.: You will often hear aircraft call in for
"Selcal check", followed by a phonetic identifier. The ground
station punches these phonetic calls into a tone-generating
device and then transmits two double tones back to the aircraft.
This is to test the SELective CALling system used by major
airlines, wherein each aircraft is assigned its own unique tone
code; a squelch device connected to the craft's radio mutes all
radio communications until it detects that craft's own SELCAL
tones; then it turns the receiver audio on and alerts the cockpit
of an incoming message. Without using SELCAL, the flight crew
would have to actively monitor HF aero frequencies continuously,
which would be a great distraction as well as a major chore.
     Most airborne stations, and all ground stations, transmit
using Single Sideband, or SSB mode (although some antiquated
aircraft still use AM transmission). Thus, you will need a
receiver equipped to hear SSB signals, i.e. one with a BFO or an
SSB switch for product detection. The bulk of aero comms are in
upper sideband, or USB. Reception of this mode requires a certain
degree of receiver stability; on older or cheaper sets, you will
need to re-tune periodically to maintain received
intelligibility.
     Both ground stations and aircraft have decent records of
verifying reception reports, usually by letter or reporter-
prepared postcard. Remember it is illegal to repeat any portion
of the monitored communication, so your report should simply
state something like, "I heard your ground station in contact
with AirFrance 352..," and NOT "You asked the pilot for his next
position and he replied with his geographical coordinates."
Incidentally, this is a good way to score QSL's from many
countries which lack shortwave broadcasting facilities or are
otherwise rare catches (see the list at the end). Addresses for
the airlines and the ground stations are too numerous to include
here, but are available in book form from most major shortwave
suppliers.
