About the Aeronautical Frequency Committee (AFC)

The AFC is an ASRI-sponsored industry committee comprised of major and regional commercial aircraft operators and organizations representing business and general aviation aircraft operators. The AFC formulates policies and recommendations relating to the allocation, assignment and efficient use of the frequency spectrum. These policies and recommendations take effect only upon adoption by the ASRI Board of Directors.

Nominations for membership are submitted to the AFC Executive Secretary by certificated air carriers, or organizations representing a constituency which is eligible to use Aeronautical Enroute frequencies. Upon approval by the AFC membership, nominations are recommended to the ASRI Board of Directors for confirmation.
