Hey, I didn't know that!Originally posted by megatron:and they will "INVITE" all other planes in vicinity to NUDGE U ALSO...
seriously, that is what ATC do when they don't have a response frm a plane ,and after a SELCAL is not PING back , they will ask other planes in vicinty or same airways & heading to contact the said plane before declaring an INCERFA. ( uncertainty phrase).
INCERFA is phrase 1 of a SAR ( Search And Rescue ) process.
SELCAL : SELective CALling, a High Frequency mode of kinda paging ( non verbal ) like using a 4 letter code to PING a plane for response. In the flightdeck, crew will hav chime n lights alert n pick up the frequency n responsd. usually use for long range communication over oceans, out of VHF radar verbal coverage. e.g Pacific , South CHina sea, atlantic ocean, deserts...
