Aircraft entering the ship's control area, once released by mission controllers, shall switch to _________frequency for arrival instructions.

The key idea is using a dedicated arrival-control channel for aircraft transitioning to ship-based guidance. When an aircraft is released by mission controllers, it must switch to the AATCC frequency so the carrier’s arrival control can provide precise vectors, altitude/heading instructions, and sequencing for approach and landing. This channel is reserved specifically for arrival coordination with the ship, ensuring clear, authoritative communication and reducing interference from other traffic. General bands like VHF, UHF, or HF are broad-purpose communication channels, but they aren’t the specialized arrival channel used to manage a carrier’s approach flow.
