Radio frequency (RF) is a rate of oscillation in the range of about 30 kHz to

300 GHz.

Low frequency or low freq or LF refers to radio frequencies (RF) in the range
of 30 kHz–300 kHz.

Medium frequency (MF) refers to radio frequencies (RF) in the range of


300 kHz to 3 MHz.

High frequency (HF) radio frequencies are between 3 and 30 MHz.

VHF (Very high frequency) is the radio frequency range from 30 MHz to
300 MHz.

Ultra high frequency (UHF) designates a range of electromagnetic waves


with frequencies between 300 MHz and 3 GHz (3,000 MHz).

Super high frequency (or SHF) refers to radio frequencies (RF) in the range
of 3 GHz and 30 GHz.

Extremely high frequency is the highest radio frequency band. EHF runs
the range of frequencies from 30 to 300 gigahertz.

• Demand mode – Flight crew transmits


• Polled mode – Ground station transmits

RUNAWAY VISUAL RANGE (RVR): The RVR is the maximum distance in the
direction of take-off or landing at which the runway or the specified light or
markers delineating it can be seen from a height corresponding to the
average eye-level of pilots at touchdown.
