Communication
Aircraft
The aircraft has a good range of
communications and navigational equipment including a
satellite GPS (global positioning system), a storm scope and a
HF radio which is linked to the mission network. At present,
communication between missionaries is mostly done by our
mission HF radios 3 times a day. Radio communication between
the plane and home base is maintained throughout the flight.
Usually the destination mission station comes on the radio as
well. With the use of satellite phones and internet, 24 hr.
communication can be maintained in the event of an emergency.

Satellite internet and phone
The Flight Service has purchased and operates a satellite
internet system. This system serves all the missionaries at
Kalene for its communications needs, such as internet, e-mail,
and out-going international calls only. It has been a real
blessing for all, and has made communication within Zambia and
to the home countries affordable. Several other mission
stations have also installed this system.
