Good afternoon,
I am nearing completion of my PPL in the UK and have a few questions regarding ATC!
1. How do you know who you'll be contacting en route? Eg, flying from East Midlands to say, for example, Bournemouth, you'll obviously be speaking to EMA gnd, twr and radar, and the same with Bournemouth in reverse order... but how do you find out which frequencies to prepare for en route? And how do you know when you can expect to change to these frequencies?
2. With regards to Radio or Information airfields, are the initial calls when departing or arriving the same?
These may seem like daft questions, but if you don't ask, you don't get answers!
Thanks!
