I understood that frequencies were being issued for stations in contact with Commercial Air Traffic (say above FL240.), but don't know how or why this affects GA aircraft.
Does it also mean that aircraft not fitted with a radio at present, will need to have them fitted?
Last I heard was the end of December next year. However, most of the planned dates for various changes have been put back so don't panic yet.
I have not heard of any plans to make radios compulsory in class G but increasing amounts of class E radio is required.
