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

• A. U.S. Chart Supplement and VFR Sectional Charts
• B. NOTAMs only
• C. IFR Enroute Chart
• D. GPS database

Answer: (A)

CTAF is the common traffic advisory frequency used at airports without a control tower to coordinate with other aircraft. The best sources to find it are official FAA publications: the U.S. Chart Supplement (Airport/Facility Directory) and VFR Sectional Charts. The Chart Supplement provides the official airport entry with the CTAF, weather information, lighting, services, and hours. The VFR Sectional Charts also list the CTAF in the airport information block next to the airport symbol, and these charts are updated regularly. NOTAMs cover temporary conditions and other notices, but they don’t serve as a reliable source for the regular CTAF frequency. IFR Enroute Charts are focused on instrument flight and show different communications, not the CTAF for general aviation. GPS databases may contain airport data, but they aren’t the standard source pilots rely on for the CTAF.
