Flew to West Virginia yesterday from Lee Airport, nead Annapolis, MD.
Filed an ADIZ flight plan, called Potomac Approach and got a squawk code. Flew out of the Baltimore-Washington ADIZ with no trouble, but requiring several frequency changes as I was handed off from one controller to the next. However, when I returned, I took a different, more southerly route. Here is a copy of what I sent AOPA describing the events surrounding my attempt to re-enter the ADIZ: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Filed to enter the ADIZ at 11:15 local at the Brooke VOR (BRV). Arrive exactly on time. Called the frequency on the chart for that area: 119.85. No response. Tried another freq for that area (on the chart): 124.65. No response. I had decended from 4000' down to 2000' to go under the Class B. I tried 126.75 (typically for VFR North of this area. No joy. Called Stafford Reginonal airport nearby. They suggested 120.82, which they told me was a "new one" they were using. They also reported that I was "loud and very clear", when I told them the problem. Several times I heard, "8593V, you are loud and clear. How do you read?". However, when I responded they didn't hear me. I climbed to 4000', and tried 124.65 again. This time I got a response and they could hear me. I got a squawk code and was told to proceed (after being led to beleive that he could not find my flight plan). He told me that below 1200', I could have contacted Quantico Approach on 127.05. I asked him how I was supposed to know that, and he told me that he did not know. How are we supposed to know the approach frequencies and their limitations, if not on the chart? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is there some place we can get the approach control frequencies for a specific are, ... and their limitation? TIA -john |
