Figure 24 — Sectional Chart Excerpt · FAA-CT-8080-2H, p. 2-23
Figure 24 shows MAJORS (GVT) with "CT – 118.65 ★" next to a note reading "See NOTAMs/Directory for Class D eff hrs." What does the star next to the tower frequency indicate?
Why: FAA-CT-8080-2H Legend 1 defines the star symbol: "Star indicates operation part-time (see tower frequencies tabulation for hours of operation)." A part-time tower means the Class D surface area is only in effect while the tower is operating, which is exactly why the chart also tells the pilot to check NOTAMs or the Chart Supplement.
Invents an emergency-only meaning for the star that Legend 1 does not support — the star denotes part-time operation, not a restricted use for the frequency.
Confuses the star with runway-marking symbols; runway identification isn't shown with a star next to the tower frequency.
