The Aeronautical Frequency Committee (AFC) was established in 1949 to develop and maintain a single airline voice in frequency management activities. In 1955, the Air Lines Communications Advisory Council (ALCAC) was established, and the AFC became a standing committee of the Council. The AFC remained a standing committee of ALCAC until December, 1974. At that time the ARINC Board of Directors made it directly responsible to the Board and recommended expansion of its membership, insofar as practicable, in order to be representative of all users of ARINC’s radio services.
