From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In U.S. and Canadian aviation, MULTICOM is a frequency allocation used as a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) by aircraft near airports where no air traffic control is available.[1] Despite the use of uppercase letters, MULTICOM is not an abbreviation or acronym.
Frequency allocations vary from region to region.
