AIP GEN 3.4 - 3.2.6 Common Air-to-Air Channels for General Aviation

Two channels 123.065 and 123.135 have been assigned for Air-to-Air communications. These channels should be used to share important safety information between pilots, where information is not provided by other services, such as ATC or FIS, mainly in uncontrolled airspace.

• Sharing Weather Issues
• Formation Flights
• Flights in Areas without ATC (Airspace Classes Golf and Echo)
• Flights in Areas without FIS Coverage
• Local Competitions (within Flying Clubs)
• Self-Coordination

The channels will eventually be allocated European-wide to enable cross-border communication without the necessity to retune to other channels. The International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot Associations (IAOPA) can provide an updated list of other States currently using these channels for Air-to-Air communications.
