ACARS question

[AZ645]

Does anyone know if 129.525 is now ACARS? Or if anyone has an updated ACARS frequency list?

I have heard ACARS data, or something that sounds like it, on 129.525 recently.
I have also seen it listed as "common user de-icing".
It's not in the ACARS list in the wiki ACARS - The RadioReference Wiki. I don't know how current that list is.
At DFW 129.525 is on the same license as the other ACARS frequencies. http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?fccCallsign=WRF7

Both 129.350 and 129.525 are active with ACARS in the northeast U.S., both received regularly here near Toronto, Canada.

Cheers!

Here in Brownsville,Texas im hearing ACARS on 131.550 mhz ......

 

[ATCTech]

That would be the (pretty much) North America wide frequency for Rockwell-Collins/ARINC's conventional ACARS network. If ACARS service exists in any given location on the continent 131.550 MHz will typically be the main or only frequency provided by R-C/ARINC.

Cheers!

That link is way obsolete. The current ARINC VHF/HF charts (which don't show ACARS coverage) are available at
Air/Ground Domestic Voice Service
on the right side of the page under Jeppesen charts.
