What ground frequency should you use to determine position on the surface?

Determining the correct ground frequency for position reporting on the surface involves consulting aeronautical charts. These charts provide vital information about ground frequencies specific to each airport, ensuring pilots can communicate effectively with ground control. This approach allows for real-time updates and instructions that are essential for safety on the ground.

Relying on the frequency listed on a flight plan may not reflect the most current or accurate information for a specific airport. While the type of aircraft may influence communication procedures, it does not directly dictate the ground frequency to be used. Additionally, the idea that a ground frequency is consistent across all airports is misleading, as frequencies can vary significantly between different locations based on air traffic control structure and operational needs. Therefore, consulting the chart provides the best method to find the appropriate ground frequency for surface positioning.
