AirEvac Units/Bases

Additional Info

A satellite tracking system in the helicopters sends a signal back to the communications center so the movement of the aircraft can be tracked at all times. Communicators are able to track an aircraft's heading, location and air speed. If an aircraft runs into a problem, communicators know where it is and what is going on. Messages between communicators and pilots are relayed over a frame relay system. When a communicator speaks to a pilot over the radio, the message is sent to computer routers located on transmission towers throughout Air Evac's service areas. The routers convert the radio waves into data bits that can be transmitted faster and more accurately over the long distance. Heard test page for AirEvac 3 on 159.7125 032 DPL on Sat 4/22/06 at 8:39am.

Heard on 153.095, telling a pilot to use this frequency: 152.9975 DPL 074 (1/8/09)
