Wiki note about the forums several, active Channel 9 threads.

Offering live ATC communications on UA flights on Channel 9 of the audio entertainment system (Channel 9) is exclusive to United and offered at the Captains discretion. This forum has four prime, active threads about Channel 9. This note will guide you to the right thread for your post, or to where you would look for those channel 9 posts youre interested in.

1) This thread to discuss Uniteds progress in converting legacy Continental aircraft and now PDE equipped aircraft to offer Channel 9

2) For discussion on issues and availability on Channel 9 equipped aircraft, see Consolidated "Channel 9 Availability" Discussion Thread [Merged]

3) A thread, to discuss interesting things heard on Channel 9, such as interesting exchanges between pilots and controllers or asking about pilot-controller phraseology. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...ad-merged.html

The Moderators may move misplaced posts to conform to these thread aims.

Sat next to a pilot a couple months back that flies Airbus' and he said when they put in the Wifi they took out the Ch9 (maybe that circuit, or something to that effect). Wonder if we will ever get it back...

Just announced, pmCO 757-200s (16J) will have a cabin refresh, that is to include adding "From the Flight Deck" (aka Channel 9).

I've had it turned on about once every 20 flights the last couple of years.

I'm running about 50-50 this year, mostly on pmUA 757s BOS<>SFO, with a few TPAC EWR 77Ws in the mix. I find that many of the captains whom I ask personally will do so if asked. I'm less successful when I ask an FA to ask the captain.

It strongly depends on the aircraft you are on. None of the 73xs or the 16 business seat 752s. And certain wide bodies donot have it either. Then it is down to the flight crews option
