All of Mojave Air & Space Port — runways, frequencies, charts and live weatherWhen the KMHV tower is closed
The tower is staffed 0700-1700 MON-FRI. Outside those hours Mojave Air & Space Port has no operating control tower: it becomes a self announce field on 127.6, and separation from other traffic is yours, not a controller's. Report your position and intentions on entry and on each leg of the pattern.
Runway lighting is often pilot controlled once the tower closes — check the KMHV airport page for the click sequence, and what to say on the radio.
Before taxi Mojave
- ASOS/AWOS 132.225
- An automated weather station reading the field conditions aloud — wind, visibility, ceiling, temperature and altimeter. It replaces ATIS at a field with no controller to record one. Get the altimeter setting before you descend below the transition altitude.
Taxi & takeoff Mojave
- Ground 123.9
- Ground control owns every taxiway and inactive runway on the field. Call for taxi with your position and destination on the field. You need an explicit clearance to cross any runway, including one that is not in use.
- Tower 127.6
- Tower owns the active runways and the surrounding surface area. Call before entering the surface area inbound, and hold short until you are cleared to take off or to cross.
Departure & arrival Joshua
- App/Dep 133.65
- One radar controller working both arrivals and departures — normal at a smaller TRACON. The same frequency takes your climb out and your inbound call.
Also
- CTAF 127.6
- The common frequency pilots use to announce themselves to each other at a field with no operating control tower. Nobody is controlling traffic — you are self announcing. Report your position and intentions on entry and on each leg of the pattern, and listen well before you transmit.
