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.
