Where could a remote pilot find the CTAF of an airport?

• A. U.S. Chart Supplement and VFR Sectional Charts
• B. IFR Enroute Chart
• C. Airport Directory
• D. Weather Charts

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that CTAF frequencies are published in official airport data sources that accompany the VFR map materials. For uncontrolled airports, the common traffic advisory frequency is shown on VFR sectional charts near the airport symbol. The most authoritative source for detailed airport data, including the CTAF, is the U.S. Chart Supplement (formerly the Airport/Facility Directory). It lists frequencies, hours, lighting, services, and other essential details. Together, these publications let a remote pilot contact other traffic in the area when there’s no tower. Weather charts focus on meteorological information and do not provide airport communication frequencies. IFR Enroute Charts are designed for instrument flight planning along airways and likewise don’t list CTAF. An Airport Directory might be confused with the Chart Supplement, but the official, up-to-date source is the Chart Supplement in combination with the sectional chart.
