Official FAA figure (FAA-CT-8080 testing supplement). Open full size →A
Lincoln Approach Control on 124.0 MHz.✓ Correct Answer
B
Minneapolis Center on 128.75 MHz.
C
Lincoln Tower on 118.5 MHz.
Explanation
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.
