Group: Forum Members Posts: 149, Visits: 2.4K	Sorry, the control is in Istres, LFMI, the frequency is 127.925, it did not change, in your chart is indicated as RHONE INFO, that is the only thing to change to CAMARGUE CONTROL. There is a horrible overlapping of zones there (one of the most important military airports+the natural reserve of Camargue), the change concerns only that frequency. But is a beautiful place to visit ...

Group: Forum Members Posts: 149, Visits: 2.4K	+x Tim Dawson - 4/15/2015 11:24:10 AM Thank you. I just realized than the frequency for getting clearance in the area of Camargue does not appear in SD. Of course, if you call the ones that appear, you will be informed that you have to call Camargue Control, 127.925 B‌ut is is more efficient to use directly this frequency for a transit on that area.

R108 B Istres, CTA Rhone. ‌Practically, I fly frequently from LFNG to LFNE and the frequency to contact, that gives you the clearance and the trafic information is Camargue Controle, if I avoid the CTR of LFTW, if not, it is necessary also to contact LFTW Tower, 123.200, but Camargue Controle will tell the pilot of course.

I realized that in the official OACI chart, Camargue Control does not appear (at least I don't find it in the jungle of information showed in that area, but in CartaBossy, that is widely used for VFR in France, it appears quite clearly. I just give this information for practical purposes, avoiding too much and unnecessary radio communication. Camargue Control provides the clearance, the code for the transponder, the traffic information in all that area.
