Talk:Mandatory frequency airport

Latest comment: 17 years ago by Dpm64

Isn't this mostly the same as a CTAF in the United States? User:David Jordan 3/7/2007.

No, a CTAF in the U.S. isn't ever mandatory (as far as I know) — it's the equivalent of an ATF in Canada. You're required to call an MF just like you're required to call a tower when flying into a class B or C airport in the U.S.; the only difference is that you talk to an FSS specialist instead of a controller. In Canada, pilots have been fined or had their licenses temporarily suspended for flying into an MF airport without using the frequency. David 12:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
