How far away (in nm) can I tune into an airports frequency?
Sorry if this is a topic already, I tried to find one, but it didn’t show up…

Unicom and tower is 27 miles, approach is around 60, correct me if I’m wrong. These are the maximum distances, however, not the recommended distances.

Teehee.
“ the latest hotifx pushed out earlier today, the Center MAX Emitter Range was increased from 277nm to 400-430nm”
It was changed, according to @Balloonchaser.
