6. 6) You're exiting the runway after landing and tower tells you to "contact ground point niner." What frequency should you call them on?
   

   The majority of ground control frequencies are in the 121.6-121.9 MHz bandwidth. A controller can omit the ground or local control frequency if the controller believes the pilot knows which frequency is in use. For example, they can say "contact ground point seven."
