Again, "local ops" or not *is it legal??? The *only* frequency on the IAP for
obtaining a local altimeter setting is the CTAF. To me that means that
information obtained on any other frequency is *not* part of the IAP and is
therefore not usable. I do not remember seeing anything in the FDC NOTAMS that
authorized that frequency, either.

Actually, he gave him the frequency for Sound Aircraft Services, the
major
FBO on the field. During the summer (and especially on weekends) they
usually have someone on the radio to give weather, wind and other
advisories on an informal basis. HTO is a pretty high-volume field
during
the summer (it could probably have a tower, but residents won't allow
it),
and a great deal of the traffic are uber-VIP's flying in to their
weekend
getaways; so as a service, Sound keeps a guy or gal on the radio to help
things run a bit more smoothly.

Which begs the original question: how does a non-local learn such
non-trivia?
