Operations¶
Flight Service Station
Marinduque Radio is a Flight Service Station (FSS). It provides traffic and flight information advisories only and cannot issue ATC clearances. Pilots remain responsible for their own separation and self-announce their intentions.
Marinduque operates VFR. On first contact with Marinduque Radio (or on UNICOM when it is offline), give your position, aircraft type and intentions, and listen out for other traffic.
Who to monitor
Monitor the advisory frequency — Marinduque Radio on 122.000 (or UNICOM 122.800 when it is offline). When no local controller is online, you are also advised to monitor Manila Control (CTR) when one is online for traffic information.
Warning
With a single runway and no radar service, maintain a good lookout and self-announce on each leg of the circuit. Never enter or backtrack the runway until it is confirmed clear. Read back any hold short instruction with "HOLDING SHORT".
