This article is about the radio spectrum used in aviation. For bands named Air, see Air (disambiguation) § Artists.
A typical aircraft VHF radio. The display shows an active frequency of 123.5 MHz and a standby frequency of 121.5 MHz. The two are exchanged using the button marked with a double-headed arrow. The tuning control on the right only affects the standby frequency.
Airband or aircraft band is the name for a group of frequencies in the VHF radio spectrum allocated to radio communication in civil aviation, sometimes also referred to as VHF, or phonetically as "Victor". Different sections of the band are used for radionavigational aids and air traffic control.[1][2][3]
In most countries a license to operate airband equipment is required and the operator is tested on competency in procedures, language and the use of the phonetic alphabet.[2][4]
