Truckee Tahoe Airport Tower Information - June 1, 2017

SEASONAL CONTROL TOWER IN OPERATION

JUNE 1 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 15, 2017, 7 AM - 9 PM DAILY
KTRK FREQUENCIES:

TOWER-CTAF: 120.575 MHZ
GROUND CONTROL: 118.3 MHZ

The main purpose of the temporary tower will be to provide a safe aviation
environment at KTRK. We expect the tower to also shorten transit times over the
region and reduce neighborhood overflights and annoyance. The tower does not
allow for larger aircraft to use KTRK. Following is important information for the tower:

• The tower will operate seven days a week from 7 am - 9 pm starting 6/01/17.
• The tower operator, Mid West ATC, will employ six FAA ATC certified staff.
• Tower services and Class E influence will extend from the surface to 2,500' AGL within a 4.2 mile radius of the airport. If the program is continued, KTRK will have Class D designated airspace in summer 2018.
• Important radio frequencies in effect:
  • 118.0 Mhz - AWOS “Automated Weather Observation System”

  • 118.3 Mhz - Ground Control
