Which AIP section describes radio communication services?

Which AIP section describes radio communication services?

• A. GEN 3.4
• B. GEN 2.6
• C. GEN 1.1
• D. GEN 4.2

Answer: (A)

Radio communication services are described in the GEN portion of the AIP, which covers general information applicable to all operations. Within GEN, the topics are organized by subsection numbers, and the one that specifically addresses communications services is GEN 3.4. This section outlines the ATS radio communications available, the frequencies to be used, procedures, hours of operation, and any special coordination requirements. Pilots and operators refer to it to know how to reach ATC facilities, which frequencies apply for various segments, and any limitations that affect radio contact. Because radio communications information across the network is centralized under GEN 3.4, it is the correct reference. The other GEN subsections cover different general information topics and do not pertain to radio communications.
