Quite true. The type of tower (FAA,FCT or NFCT) makes zero
difference to pilots. I always wondered why they put "NFCT" in front
of the tower freq. on the sectional chart. It adds clutter and gives
no useful information.


Do they still do that?

Now that you mention it, I think they did quit cluttering the chart
with that designation, though I still see it in the AFD occasionally.

"NFCT" was removed from the sectional chart legend about ten years ago, but
airports with NFCTs continued to have NFCT in their airport data blocks for
several years after that. I believe Airborne Airpark in Wilmington, OH,
currently has an NFCT, but it has no NFCT in it's data block.
