8.33 kHz Channel spacing
More frequencies. More features. European regulation (EU) N° 1079/2012 on the VHF-AM Communication System below FL195, 8.33 kHz frequency is mandatory from January 1st, 2018 The rule is mandatory in the European airspace also for VFR flights from January 1st, 2018. However, the 8.33 kHz frequency conversions are already being gradually put in operation in the European airspace. Consequently, non-8.33 kHz equipped aircraft and helicopters may encounter restrictions for entering into those portions of airspace where the 8.33 kHz frequencies operate. With these requirements for 8.33 kHz channel spacing in Europe, these new VHF comm and nav/comm radios offer the ideal path to compliance. They also boast a first-in-class frequency database – so you can easily look up the frequencies for a given airport (Tower, Ground, ATIS, Clearance Delivery, etc.) just by entering the identifier. The display will translate and identify the frequencies you select, to verify who you’re talking to! And other highlights include a choice of 10- or 16-watt transmitters and are NVG compatible.
