Planned outage for Tampa Approach

[Half Fast]

Just received the following notice:

​

Interesting that there will apparently be no coverage overnight. Tampa is a major class bravo, so I'm a bit surprised.

So... no class B overnight?

I would expect Tampa approach has mutli frequencies.

Kind of odd. You would think there would be a bit more information provided.

So they still have 124.95, 125.3, 118.15, 118.5, 118.8, 135.5 and 119.65.

How many frequencies will they need?

They do, but they’re sectored. 119.9 is for 001 to 150 degrees.

They do, but they’re sectored. 119.9 is for 001 to 150 degrees.

You do realize they combine frequencies during the slower hours at night?

Occasionally one or more of those frequencies are down without warning, especially 119.9. Nice to have a heads up.

It’s just one Frequency. They have lotsa Frequencies. This is taking place in the wee hours when sectors would be combined. Neither of these Frequencies are the advertised initial contact Frequency so it’s really a no thang thing. It’s not just a B thing. The Sarasota C is also affected.

It affects Sarasota also the locals have no problem with it.
