I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what the frequency or site handoff sequence is on flights between Miami and San Juan.
Standard route: SKIPS2 SKIPS Y290 BEANO BEANO3 SJU
Miami Tower
125.500 Miami Departure (to 16000) = MIA, KMIA Departure (South)
135.600 Miami (to FL230) = MIA, ZMA41 Miami Center (Junar)
126.325 Miami (to cruise altitude, odd) = MIA, ZMA40 Miami Center (Bimini)
127.225 Miami = MIA, ZMA60 Miami Center (Georgetown) + LGI, Miami Center (Bahamas Area)
126.275 Miami = LGI, Miami Center (Bahamas Area)
126.450 Miami = POP, MDPP Ground/Center (not listed but currently covered)
134.300 San Juan (descent, BEANO at 11000) = SJU, TJSJ San Juan Center
119.400 San Juan Approach = SJU, TJSJ Approach/Departure
132.050 San Juan Tower = SJU, TJSJ Del/Gnd/Twr
Reception varies.
are they ever out of VHF range where they’d need to use HF or Sat Comms?
No, VHF all the way.
