FAA Figure 52Chart Supplement excerpt (Lincoln, NE)FAA-CT-8080-2H · Sport, Recreational, Private & Remote Pilot supplement
A
Monitor airport traffic and announce your position and intentions on 118.5 MHz.✓ Correct Answer
B
Contact UNICOM on 122.95 MHz for traffic advisories.
C
Monitor ATIS for airport conditions, then announce your position on 122.95 MHz.
Explanation
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.
