Baklan-5
radio station
Description
Baklan-5 onboard VHF radio station
Baklan-5 is an onboard aircraft VHF radio station designed for simplex radiotelephone communication between aircraft crews, helicopters and ground air traffic control stations. The radio station operates in the civil aviation VHF band and is intended for voice communication during flight and ground operation. It was widely used on light civil aircraft and helicopters, including An-2, Yak-18T, Mi-2, Mi-8 and other aircraft equipped with compatible Baklan-family radio communication systems.

VHF communication through Baklan-5
The Baklan-5 radio station provides voice communication in amplitude modulation mode within the aviation VHF communication range. It allows the crew to communicate with dispatch services and other aircraft using fixed frequency channels. The number “5” in the designation refers to the transmitter output power class. Communication range depends on flight altitude, antenna installation, aircraft configuration and radio conditions.
Baklan-5 system composition
The Baklan-5 radio station has a block-type construction. A typical set includes the transceiver, remote control panel and shock-mount frame. The transceiver performs reception, transmission, modulation and signal processing. The remote control panel is installed in the cockpit and provides frequency selection and control of the radio station. The shock-mount frame provides mechanical installation and vibration isolation of the radio unit inside the aircraft structure.
Cockpit control of Baklan-5
Crew operation of the Baklan-5 radio station is performed through the remote control panel installed in the cockpit. The panel allows the crew to select the required operating frequency and manage communication settings according to the installed radio configuration. The main transceiver is usually installed separately in the aircraft radio equipment area, while the cockpit panel remains accessible to the flight crew during operation.
Aircraft application of Baklan-5
Baklan-5 was used on civil aircraft and helicopters requiring onboard VHF voice communication. Typical aircraft applications may include An-2, Yak-18T, Mi-2, Mi-8 and other aircraft where the radio station is approved by aircraft documentation. The station belongs to the same general Baklan family as the more powerful Baklan-20 version, which is used where higher transmitter output power is required.
Identification and ordering of Baklan-5
The product may be referenced as Baklan-5 or Baklan-5. For correct supply, it is useful to specify whether the request concerns the complete radio station set or separate components, such as the transceiver, remote control panel, shock-mount frame, cables or documentation. It is also important to confirm aircraft type, installed wiring, frequency grid, condition, completeness and document requirements before supply or replacement.
