Aircraft in the eastern sections of the Kabul FIR can expect some radio issues, as a comm unit (VSAT at Ghanzi) is out of action.
Frequencies affected:
- 118.3
- 128.5
- 126.325
Airways
- M696 (between GIDOG and LAJAK)
- A453
- G206
- N644
- L750
- M875
The advice from ATC in Afghanistan is to keep trying the assigned frequency until within range of a different transmitter; in the meantime, a bit of SLOP, IFBP and TCAS should keep you out of trouble.
