ATC communication in class d airspace and satellite airports
Asked by: ron latta 4954 views FAA Regulations
I am a new pilot with 70 hours. I am planning a cross country flight to a location that is a satellite airport in class d airspace. I believe I need to contact the controlling ATC before entering the class d airspace on the approach frequency at least 10 miles out. At what point will I switch to the Unicom frequency for the destination airport and announce my intention? Or will the controlling ATC for the class d airspace provide approach and departure instructions in and out of the satellite airport? Ron
