Beaumont, TXICAO KBMT · FAA BMT

Nobody clears you to do anything: you self-announce on the CTAF, 123.0, as Beaumont Municipal Traffic, with the airport name at the start and end of each call. The approach control for the area is Houston Approach on 121.3, which is who you call for VFR flight following.
No Class B, C, D or E surface area is designated for this airport in the FAA data, so the airspace at the surface is Class G.

The aircraft is the AIM’s own example, Cessna Three One Six Zero Foxtrot; the squawk codes, altitudes and headings are illustrative. Frequencies, station names and runway numbers are this airport’s, from the FAA data.
- Tune 123.0. Nobody clears you; you announce and you listen. The airport name goes at the start and the end of every call, and the runway is always a number, never "the active" (AIM 4-1-9 g 8).

If things change. Want flight following after departure? Call Houston Approach on 121.3 once clear of the pattern: identification, type, position, altitude, destination, "request VFR flight following" (AIM 4-1-18 a 3). Do not use "any traffic in the area, please advise"; the AIM says it is not to be used under any condition (AIM 4-1-9 g 1).
