Refer to Figure 53 on page 55.
What is the recommended communications procedure for landing at Lincoln Municipal during the hours when the tower is not in operation?
  1. Use the Unicom Frequency 122.95
  2. Use the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) 118.5
  3. It becomes an uncontrolled field at that point so no radio communications are needed
  4. Use the closest operating tower of the closed airport
Explanation
Correct answer: B. Use the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) 118.5. When the tower is closed at a controlled field aircraft, pilots are to use the CTAF and many times it is still the normal tower frequency. Use it like a Unicom for an uncontrolled field and announce your position and intentions. When possible, coordinate with other traffic on the frequency. Also, realize that these fields usually have some sort of cargo traffic at these hours so there could be large jets flying in the area.
