Which VHF frequency range upper limit is used worldwide for aviation communications?

Explanation:
VHF aviation communications occupy the band from 118.000 to 136.975 MHz. The worldwide upper limit for civil aviation voice channels is 136.975 MHz, standardized so pilots and air traffic controllers everywhere can communicate on the same set of frequencies. Frequencies above that aren’t allocated for civil aviation voice, and those below 118.000 are used for other services or navigation aids, not typical air-to-ground voice communications. So the correct upper limit is 136.975 MHz.
