I've noticed that some of the TMA frequencies in Switzerland does not match with the correct ATC-unit. For example, around Zurich, SD mentions "Zurich Information", but this is only the FIS-frequency and they can't give clearances by themselves. For TMA crossings "Zurich Terminal" is the correct ATC-unit to contact in TMA-airspace around Zurich for VFR-traffic in class C. For crossings within the non-TMA and non-CTR airspaces (class C and D), "Zurich Delta" is the correct ATC-unit. They give for example clearances to cross corridors and in general class C airspace above FL100/FL130.

In Germany, the non-CTR airspaces in class D and C doesn't have published frequencies for VFR-charts at all, but they are mentioned within the IFR-arrival/departure charts as Radar frequency. For example around Suttgart, this would be "Langen Radar" on 125,050 or 119,200 and around Cologne/Bonn, this would be also "Langen Radar", but now on 135,350. The problem here is the German ATC-company "DFS", which want to force VFR-pilots to contact FIS first prior to cross airspace class C or D.

Regarding the original topic of this thread, the official line from German authorities is that pilots should contact the relevant FIS frequency if they wish to gain penetration into any of the enroute C/D airspace.
I understand. Nonetheless, wouldn't it still be possible to show the frequencies anyway, regardless of what the DFS prefers? Other apps have the frequencies included, for example AirNavPro.

Back to the Swiss TMA frequencies: Will Skydemon provide the "Delta" frequencies for the General Class C in Switzerland soon? This would greatly help, as Geneva Delta and Zurich Delta are frequencies mainly for VFR traffic, as described in ENR 2.1.

Would you mind creating separate threads for separate issues? It helps us greatly when it comes to investigating them all.
Yes, I will do so. ;-)
