I'm kinda confused on the definition of MULTICOM, UNICOM, AND CTAF. I understand that CTAF is the common traffic advisory frequency, and that is what you use at an untowered airport or when the tower is not in service.

If I remember correctly, the definition of MULTICOM refers to it being an air-to-air frequency for pilots to self-announce. So would the LA Basin traffic frequency (123.025) be considered a MULTICOM frequency?

And then I've read that UNICOM is a frequency for an advisory facility on an airport, towered and untowered. What would I use this frequency for? If I wanted to get gas, or needed to park the heli somewhere, would I call up this frequency?

thanks!
