QUESTION:
US Airport Directory for Providence KPVD displays ATND SKD H24.
While the FAA's US Chart Supplement (formerly the Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD)) displays airport remarks “attended continuously”, the operational hours of the control tower and approach/departure are limited.Could you please update the Airport Directory to include the limited ATC hours at KPVD? This is required to ensure our crews do not approach KPVD when there is no ATC provision.
ANSWER:
Airport scheduled hours of operation are based on the 24 hour clock. Operational hours for ATC facilities, control tower, approach control and departure control, are not readily obtainable from state source providers; i.e., documents. Operational hours are not always available and vulnerable to change rather frequently.
