JLang Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 In browsing airport/FBO comments when flight planning, several times I have come across mention that building access is by entering the statewide key code. I remember my CFI mentioning this and that it can be found in the A/FD (now "Chart Supplement"), but I can't seem to find this -- am I blind?

Doug G. Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Around here it is usually the airport's CTAF. Haven't run into "state code" yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vance Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I've been told that Michigan's is 5321. I don't know where they're posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtoeat Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 JLang, it will vary among airports. Some will require a code of 5321 as John indicates. Some will require 5, with simultaneous pressing of 3&2, then a 1. There are other variations. When you registered your CT in Michigan, you should have been given a Michigan Chart and also a Michigan Airport Directory. The Directory has all of the Michigan and some Ohio and Indiana airports. The codes for entry into the airport FBO in off hours are shown here. What's pretty neat is the Michigan DOT has provided a App which allows one to install the Michigan Airport Directory on cell phone. No need to carry the booklet. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gov.michigan.mdot.MiMobileAirportDirectory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLang Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Thanks Dick, that is helpful. I did not get the directory with my registration, but after your note it's now on my ipad and phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 How common is this? I have not run into it in MN, ND, or SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Ryan airfield just says squawk VRF for building access. 1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmInce Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 A common code is called "Happy Hour." 2-4-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 We also see "Enter CTAF" as the building code a lot in Georgia. If the field CTAF is 122.9, you'd enter 1-2-2-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
