Title: are you allowed totalk to pilots plying around
Post by: mactuan12 on January 10, 2020, 10:08:22 PM

If you have a airband tranceiver, and you are sitting in your house, are you allowed to chit-chat with pilots flying overhead?  and can you give them currenty weather conditions at your house if you have a little home weather station thing set up?  or is this all illegal based on FAA rules?

No you are not. You shouldn't be using a air band transceiver unless you are a pilot or part of airport operations / ATC.
