AIC on use of 123.45 in the UK.

An interesting point here - I was delivering some refresher training on RT for my microlight club the other night (they are not regular users, so benefit from an occasional refresher!), and covering emergencies gave the standard "call the frequency currently in use", when I was asked about Unicom.

Presumably, Unicom 135.475, the microlight A/G frequency 129.825, or the "chat" frequency 123.45 are all about as useful as a chocolate teapot in an emergency - in most cases anyhow. These are presumably the exceptions where you should immediately switch to guard in an emergency?

Anybody got any thoughts on that?
