I hold a PPL (Belgium) and would like to fly to the south of France. I'd like to use the 'lower airspace airways' for that, shown on the official VFR charts but I am curious about a few things. I've never flown an actual airway before. So here it goes:
- who do you talk to when on the airway? Is that the normal Information Freq or the ACC (Controller) Freq. For example: in the north of France, do I talk to Paris Information of Paris Control?
- Sometimes, the airway penetrates a TMA zone. Do you switch to the TMA frequency or can the Airway Controller clear you through TMA zones?
- .. what class is that airway anyway??
Stupid Questions?
Maybe, but still eager to hear from you guys!
Pour les francophones: je sais me debrouiller en francais, mais je n'ose pas ecrire votre langue. merci!
