Approximately one million air
miles is expected to be ﬂown by
Air Force ﬂight crews this summer in airlifting 7,000 CAP cadets
to summer encampments and special activities across the nation
. . demonstrating the Air Force's
continuing support of the Civil Air
Patrol.
The massive airlift job involved
the transporting of 6,000 cadets to
about one-half of the 52 summer
encampments and another 1,000 to
the 10 special actiJvities events.
The extensive effort is clearly
portrayed by the Reno-Stead ﬂymg encampment and the Cadet
Leadership School. Cadets from

Radio Frequency Discipline
The 'steady signiﬁcant increase in air trafﬁc is being accompanied by a required increase in voice communications between
controllers and pilo.ts.. Most air trafﬁc control (ATC) frequencies
are simplex, meaning that both the facility and the pilot transmit
and receive on the same frequency.
This has often been referred to as a "party telephone line."
Simply stated when one party is transmitting on the frequency,
it cannot be used by another party.
Excessive and unnecessary transmissions by a pilot interfere
not only with normal operations, but they can also create a hazard
by blocking an emergency transmission from the facili~ty ar ~nother
pilot.
This c~n be particularly critical at radar locations where
radar vectors are provided to separate and sequence aircraft and
vectoring airspace is limited. In any case, unnecessary use of a
frequency is not good operating practice and is a disservice to other
pilots as well as to the ATC facility.
ATC is constantly reviewing means for reducing and reﬁning
phraseologies and transmissions. In cooperation with the industry
much has,been accomplished.
For example, position reports have been virtually eliminated
when ai~:eraft are under radar control; standard instrument arrival
procedures are being studied for possible application on a n~tional
basis.
Although these and other actions taken have signiﬂca~ntly
reduced frequency congestion, much more can be accomplished
by recognition of and action on factors within the control of the
individual using ATC frequencies.

Recommended Pilot Actions
1. Be aware of the need for frequency discipline.
2. Be aware of and tuned to the proper frequency to use ~or
the speciﬁc ATC function being provided.
3. Listen before talking. There could be emergency transmissions on the frequency you intend to use. Also, listening will often
provide you with information you need if you intercept a controller's transmission to another aircraft; such as wind direction,
velocity, runway in use, altimeter setting, weather, etc. (When you
this type of transmission, be sure to tell the con4. Say what needs to be
ﬂight only to the extent that what you want oe need to do is clear
to both you and the controller.
5. Flight and classroom instructors should assure that student
are aware of the need for frequency discipline and that students are indoctrinated in the use of proper and timely phraseology. Experienced pilots should periodically check for the development of bad habits in the use of/radio techniques.
6. Check your speech rates and enunciation. Are you regularly
being requested to repeat a transmission? If so, you may be talking
too fast or not clearly. Do not be too self.crRieal if this happens
occasionally. The cut, troller may be listening to several frequencies
and may not hear part of your transmission because of one from
a pilot on a different frequency. Even the high-density facilities
combine positions of operating during periods of light trafﬁc.
7. Remember in using a simplex frequency when you talk, you
cannot hear on that frequency.
8. Assttre that microphone buttons are closed when you com.
plete a transmission. Frequencies are often jammed by this condition; and even if the offender can be identiﬁed, there is no way'
to inform him of the situation.
9. As a cardinal rule, keep the frequency to be used avail,able
for use by every one to the maximum extent possible.
(Excerpts from FAA Advisory Circular date 17 May 1968).

Never start u~til you have:
1. Checked weight and balance data. (Assure you are not overloaded)
2. Determined that all objects in the cabin are secure and

New Jersey Wing I0
PORT NEWARK, N.J.--It was a
warm Saturday morning ~t the
Lakewood Airport when IA. Col.
Leo Boran called the brieﬁng seE.
sion for New Jersey's annual effectiveness test.
The ﬁve group commanders and
several unit commanders along
with Col. Nanette M. Spears, wing
c o m m a n d e r, a n d U . S . A i r F o r c e
evaluators, Lt. Col. Charles Rocks
and Maj. A. D. Panarese were present for the brieﬁng.
Colonel Boran discussed the purpose of the mission, qualiﬁcations
for participants and stressed that
safcty precautions would be adhered to at all times.
Colonel Boron explained the details of the problems which involved three aircraft departing
from three different locations and
contact had been lost.
The New Jersey Wing had been
requested to assist the Eastern Air
Rescue and Recovery Center
(EARRC) in searching for the
overdue aircraft.

He requested clearance and declared an emergency. Radar contact was lost and there was no
further contact with the "lost" airer~ft. The third problem developed
around a Cessna 150 which departed Morrlstown Municipal Air, ~ort on a round-robin LakewoodSo]berg-Morristown trip. A ﬂight

be~d f~om after that radio report.
