Millville (KMIV)
I might be flying to Millvile (KMIV) in the near future. I have never
landed at a field with an FSS before and I have never really understood the process. With the changes that have taken place over the past several years, I'm even more confused and would appreciate some guidance. I don't believe that there is an FSS on the field any longer, but there apparently is still an FSS. I have seen references to an FSS frequency for Millville (122.2). I have also seen the CTAF (123.65) refered to as an FSS tie-in. I don't know what that implies. Bottom line is that I don't know who to contact and how to refer to them. Should I be calling the CTAF and refering to them as Millville Radio or call the CTAF and treat it as any other CTAF and simply self announce? Or should I be calling the FSS frequency and then who would I get? Any help in keeping me (and others) safe and helping me avoid embarrassent will be appreciated. RNR |

The A/FD says to contact Millville Radio for airport advisory service on 123.65, which is the CTAF. You are not required to contact them, nor is anyone else. They can advise you of other aircraft that have called, or you can keep track yourself. |

Millville (KMIV)
Just treat it like a CTAF. Call your positions like normal. Maybe they will
reply and give you some info. Maybe not. That's my experience anyway. -- ------------------------------- Travis Lake N3094P PWK "RNR" wrote in message ...
