rdarby Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I understand there is a standard frequency to use at an airfield that is not in use in ERSA, but I can't find a reference to it anywhere, especially in ERSA! Is there such a thing? Thanks for the help. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camel Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi. It is called Multicom and is 126.7 and is used when an airfield in class G airspace does not have any frequency assigned to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdarby Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Thanks very much! I'm doing a nav lesson to Orchid Beach (Fraser Coast), which does not seem to have a frequency of it's own, on Sunday and am trying to get all the info up front and not have to ask the instructor any questions this time, especially those ones I know he has answered before! Hopefully do the solo nav soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redozbris Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Was out at the pilot store at archerfield today getting a bag to put all my stuff in to carry around to class's and training, and came accross a book produced by the people out there Called the Queensland Contry Airstrip Guide, one for each state, queensland being one of the thickest, Flightace.com on the cover and its purple in color... About $60.00 looks like a good companion to the ERSA (so much so I got my hands on one..) ... Just my thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastmeg2 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Keep in mind, that if it's within, say 15Nm of a registered airfield which is in the ERSA it may be on the same frequency. That was the case when I dropped in at Towrang north of Goulburn last year to have a chinwag with the glider folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidh10 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Keep in mind, that if it's within, say 15Nm of a registered airfield which is in the ERSA it may be on the same frequency.

To be on different frequencies would prevent you from keeping a listening watch while within the "local area" (10nm) and giving the required inbound / overflying call.
