Memorize these. This. I'm amazed at how hard it can be. Flight watch is 122.0. That's weather. Flight service is 122.2. Everybody messes these up. I don't know why. It's very easy to mix up these two. Forget them. And I'm amazed at the amount of people especially add on guys when you ask them this question. What can you get from Flight watch? What can you get from flight service? Very common for guys to mess these up. So commit these to memory. You need to know FlightWatch 122.0. Flight Service 122.2. FlightWatch. What do you get? You get weather from flight watch, flight service, all kinds of stuff. Vfr, search and rescue, df, steer if you're lost. Long, long list of things that you can get from flight service. And memorize emergency frequency 121.5. We hit that with TFR. We're hitting it again now. You're going to hit it a little bit later on the elt. When that comes up, you're going to need to know 121.5. Emergency locator transmits on 121.5. And the military frequency of 243.0. SQUAT codes.
