Course: Aircraft Pilot Training II (20053-II) > Section: Describing Airport Operations

Description should include the following concepts:

- In general aviation, the most common types of radios are very high frequency (VHF).
- A VHF radio operates on frequencies between 118.0 megahertz (MHz) and 136.975 MHz and is classified as 720 or 760, depending on the number of channels it can accommodate.
- VHF radios are limited to line-of-sight transmissions; therefore, aircraft at higher altitudes can transmit and receive at greater distances.
