| Jun 27, 2021 at 19:34 | comment | added | randomhead | @james, you are familiar with the "guard frequency" 121.5, I hope? It is common for pilots to make a transmission on guard unintentionally, upon which they will receive the reply "ON GUARD" from a multitude of airline pilots. Or, if they're unlucky, a pilot impersonate whoever the first guy tried to contact. Usually this happens to airline pilots but GA folks may also mistake guard for CTAF, or so I gather from the responses I overhear at my facility. When I transmit on guard, I will say "N12345, Podunk Approach on guard," and so will other pilots if they are using guard intentionally. | |
