Home › Part 107 Practice Tests › Airspace & Flight Restrictions Questions › Question 39
On a sectional chart, a star symbol next to the control tower frequency indicates that
- A.the frequency is for emergency use only
- B.the tower operates part-time and is not in operation around the clock
- C.the airport is inside Class B airspace
Correct answer
B. the tower operates part-time and is not in operation around the clock
Why
The star means the control tower operates on a part-time schedule rather than continuously. The remote pilot should check the operating hours, because the associated airspace can change when the tower closes.
