(2) Frequencies. Refer to Table 3D-8 for
frequency abbreviations and their explanations.
(3) In
addition
to
the
standard
VHF
frequencies, HF frequencies are shown at airports that
utilize HF communications in the 2000 kHz to
30,000 kHz frequency band. Airports that have
numerous
communication
frequencies
will
have
multiple APT 4 pages, indicated by APT+4. Part-time
operation is indicated with an asterisk to the left of the
frequency. Refer to Figure 3D-24.
(4) Frequencies associated with CL B, CL C,
TRSA, CTA, or TMA are VFR frequencies. Airports
that have one of these categories of frequencies also
have APR and DEP which are IFR frequencies.
Where required, APR, DEP, CL B, CL C, TRSA, CTA,
and TMA frequencies are sectorized. The format for
showing the sectorization is to show the frequency
first, followed by the identifier of the associated
reference point, followed next by the applicable
radials, and, finally, the associated altitude restrictions.
