+Channel Usage
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+    - GROCON - Ground Control is the primary ATC channel used to coordinate air traffic on the airbase (Airbase control is 2km radius). It is used for ground movement (taxi, refuel, repair operations) and air movements (move to, vectoring, approach and landing). Aviation should tune to this channel when operating within an airbase and remain unless instructed otherwise.
+    - AIRCON - Air Control is a channel used as a standby channel for airframes when they leave GROCON's area of control. Communications on this channel should be kept at a minimum and should consist of aircraft reporting in, and coordination between JTAC for requests (JTAC would provide requested asset with a radio channel for continued communication).
 
-For all uncontrolled airspace use AIRCON frequency.
