As the important part of space-to-ground and space-to-space communication on civil aircraft, Very high frequency (VHF) communication system provides the voice and data intercommunication between the aircraft and the control tower or the aircraft. In order to ensure the VHF communication system can provide the reliable, clear voice and unabridged data in the whole flight, it’s particularly important to test the civil aircraft VHF communication system comprehensively for the type airworthiness and certification. The significance of VHF communication on the airworthiness safety was analyzed firstly and then the airworthiness requirement of VHF communication was introduced. Finally, the wire test, antenna voltage standing wave ration (VSWR) test, system function test and antenna radiation pattern test were summarized.
