6 FAA questions that refer to this figure
Question 1 · Private Pilot
(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H, Figure 52.) What is the recommended communications procedure for landing at Lincoln Municipal during the hours when the tower is not in operation?
- A.Monitor airport traffic and announce your position and intentions on 118.5 MHz.
- B.Contact UNICOM on 122.95 MHz for traffic advisories.
- C.Monitor ATIS for airport conditions, then announce your position on 122.95 MHz.
Show answer and explanation
Correct: A. Monitor airport traffic and announce your position and intentions on 118.5 MHz.
The Lincoln Chart Supplement entry lists CTAF 118.5, the same frequency as the tower, which operates only 1130-0600Z. When the tower is closed, AIM 4-1-9 calls for pilots to monitor the CTAF and self-announce position and intentions on it, so reports go out on 118.5 MHz. The UNICOM frequency 122.95 is for airport services and advisories, not the CTAF at this airport.

(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H, Figure 52.) Where is Loup City Municipal located in relation to the city?
- A.Northeast approximately 3 miles.
- B.Northwest approximately 1 mile.
- C.East approximately 7 miles.
Show answer and explanation
Correct: B. Northwest approximately 1 mile.
In the Chart Supplement, the item after the airport identifier gives the airport's distance in nautical miles and direction from the associated city. For Loup City Muni (0F4) it reads '1 NW', so the airport is about 1 mile northwest of the city. None of the entries places it northeast 3 miles or east 7 miles.

(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H, Figure 52.) When approaching Lincoln Municipal from the west at noon for the purpose of landing, initial communications should be with
- A.Lincoln Approach Control on 124.0 MHz.
- B.Minneapolis Center on 128.75 MHz.
- C.Lincoln Tower on 118.5 MHz.
Show answer and explanation
Correct: A. Lincoln Approach Control on 124.0 MHz.
At noon local time (1700-1800Z), Lincoln's Class C airspace is in effect (service 1130-0600Z). The Chart Supplement says to contact Approach Control. 14 CFR 91.130(c)(1) requires two-way radio communication with the ATC facility providing air traffic services before entering Class C. An aircraft west of the field lies in the 180-359 degree sector, whose approach frequency is 124.0 MHz. The tower is contacted later, when approach hands you off. Minneapolis Center is not the facility that serves this Class C airspace.
