Hi, I'm looking for some help with the frequencies. For example I am flying towards airspace Delta of Salzburg and I get the warning for the airspace, it is not showing the frequency of the groundstation to contact for that special airspace. I also noticed that for some airspaces it doesn't even show name of the station who is controlling this is space.

If it shows the ground stations name, I have to tab and hold the airport, switch to approach and then read the frequency. Not very convenient. It would be great, if the frequency would be showing in the aerospace warning and in the information button when you hold at certain point on the map.

By the way, where can I find the frequency of the information station? Surely it is shown in the PLOG, but what is if I fly in a region and did not plan a flight so there is no PLOG available.

I also noticed, when I'm planning a flight through a controlled airspace, it does not show the frequency of the controlled airspace that the flight will go through in the PLOG. It shows the airports in the vicinity and information frequency but not the very important radar frequencies.

Happy landings

No, it does not show.

Could it possibly will be, that the radiofrequency of the radar is only shown, if a route touches a control zone. Say you plan the flight to a controlled airport with control zone and airspace Delta and Charlie outside of it, it will show radar frequency it in the PLOG. But if you plan a flight where you just go through controlled airspace like Delta or Charlie and avoid the control zone, it will not show the radar frequency.

Usually, such airspace will have its frequency correctly included. In Germany, however, this isn't always straightforward. The reason is that in AIP Germany, which defines the C and D airspace, it does not explicitly state which frequency the pilot should call. It often simply says (for example) "Langen Radar" and doesn't give a frequency. If you then look up the frequency for Langen Radar you will find there is more than one.
That is why for many pieces of class C and D airspace in Germany we do not currently have the frequency matched up.

Perhaps a German customer would like to contact German AIS for comment on this. They did recently change the RMZ definitions to explicitly say which frequency should be used, so perhaps they'd be willing to also do it for class C/D airspace around airfields.

That's the same with many military frequencies in France, whereas it's directly displayed on any paper chart.
