LISTENING


What you can hear, and in turn relate to air craft you see flying overhead, obviosly depends on the position of your location relative to airports and air route. Since VHF radio waves follow approximate messages from it. Transmitter power is also a factor but, generally speaking, high flying aircraft can be received up to 320km away as a rule of a thumb, frequencies below 123 mhz are alocated to tower and approch units and those above 123 mhz to Air Traffic Control Centres (ATCC) although there are exceptions to this.
The majority of air band listener use their radio as a means of logging aircraft registrations but there are others for whom this is of no more than academic interest. Their listening pleasure is derive from learning how aircraft are controlled and the way the ATC system operates. Those in the second category will soon begin to grasp the principles and will want to find out more, whilst those in the first will recodnise that a basic knowledge of them will assist in tracking the aircraft in which they are interested.
