When returning to KNGP from Goliad, what altitude should you fly direct to Woodsboro, and what UHF channel should be used to contact Corpus Approach at Woodsboro?

When returning to KNGP from Goliad, what altitude should you fly direct to Woodsboro, and what UHF channel should be used to contact Corpus Approach at Woodsboro?

• A. 2,500' MSL, 6
• B. 1,500' MSL, 8
• C. 3,000' MSL, 4
• D. 2,000' MSL, 5

Answer: (A)

When you’re doing the Woodsboro transition back to KNGP, you follow the published Woodsboro segment, which specifies a mid-range altitude and the designated way to contact ATC in that area. The recommended altitude for that direct leg is 2,500 feet MSL, which places you in the safe, published altitude block for the Woodsboro transition and keeps you clear of terrain and typical pattern traffic. For communications, you should contact Corpus Approach at Woodsboro on UHF channel six because that channel is the assigned frequency for that approach controller in that sector. Using the correct channel ensures your calls reach the right ATC unit for vectors and clearance into KNGP. The other altitude options would place you outside the published transition altitude, and the other channels would route your call to different controllers or sectors, not the Woodsboro approach.
