Narrative:

I was instructing a student on a flight from wlw. We tried opening our flight plan on 122.3 and could not get sacramento approach to answer. We descended below the beale AFB arsa and tried to contact marysville on 123.0. Getting no response, we assumed our radio was inoperative. We circled the airport and at 1400 ft MSL, staying below and out of the beale AFB arsa; we checked the wind sock on the airport and discovered the wind favored runway 32. We made a left downwind to runway 32 and made a normal approach. On final I noticed an airplane on the runway but he cleared the runway and was on the taxiway when we were on a 1 mi final. We landed normally, parked and talked to FSS on the field. We were informed the CTAF was 119.3 and confirmed it with our VFR sectional chart. My current pilot's guide to cal airports was stolen the night before and I was using one that was out of date, thus my use of 123.0. I apologized to FSS and offered to apologize to the pilot of the other airplane. 5 mins after we landed FSS changed the landing runway to runway 32, confirming our correct interpretation of the winds favoring runway 32. There was no danger of collision; however, I regret not consulting my current sectional as it would have given me the correct 119.3 frequency. When we took off, we headed toward travis and strayed below beale AFB arsa. The remainder of the flight progressed normally.

Title: NON TWR ARPT USING WRONG CTAF MADE APCH AND LNDG OPPOSITE TO LNDG TFC. NO CONFLICT.

Narrative: I WAS INSTRUCTING A STUDENT ON A FLT FROM WLW. WE TRIED OPENING OUR FLT PLAN ON 122.3 AND COULD NOT GET SACRAMENTO APCH TO ANSWER. WE DSNDED BELOW THE BEALE AFB ARSA AND TRIED TO CONTACT MARYSVILLE ON 123.0. GETTING NO RESPONSE, WE ASSUMED OUR RADIO WAS INOP. WE CIRCLED THE ARPT AND AT 1400 FT MSL, STAYING BELOW AND OUT OF THE BEALE AFB ARSA; WE CHKED THE WIND SOCK ON THE ARPT AND DISCOVERED THE WIND FAVORED RWY 32. WE MADE A L DOWNWIND TO RWY 32 AND MADE A NORMAL APCH. ON FINAL I NOTICED AN AIRPLANE ON THE RWY BUT HE CLRED THE RWY AND WAS ON THE TAXIWAY WHEN WE WERE ON A 1 MI FINAL. WE LANDED NORMALLY, PARKED AND TALKED TO FSS ON THE FIELD. WE WERE INFORMED THE CTAF WAS 119.3 AND CONFIRMED IT WITH OUR VFR SECTIONAL CHART. MY CURRENT PLT'S GUIDE TO CAL ARPTS WAS STOLEN THE NIGHT BEFORE AND I WAS USING ONE THAT WAS OUT OF DATE, THUS MY USE OF 123.0. I APOLOGIZED TO FSS AND OFFERED TO APOLOGIZE TO THE PLT OF THE OTHER AIRPLANE. 5 MINS AFTER WE LANDED FSS CHANGED THE LNDG RWY TO RWY 32, CONFIRMING OUR CORRECT INTERPRETATION OF THE WINDS FAVORING RWY 32. THERE WAS NO DANGER OF COLLISION; HOWEVER, I REGRET NOT CONSULTING MY CURRENT SECTIONAL AS IT WOULD HAVE GIVEN ME THE CORRECT 119.3 FREQ. WHEN WE TOOK OFF, WE HEADED TOWARD TRAVIS AND STRAYED BELOW BEALE AFB ARSA. THE REMAINDER OF THE FLT PROGRESSED NORMALLY.
