Quick question, who to contact when flying to Windsor CYQG?

Post by socsbrian »

I don't have the paper VNC anymore, so I am using the digital map on Foreflight.
On the map, it says "Windsor Class C Airspace Contact Detroit Approach CTL on 126.85"
However, when I look at PRO in the CFS, it says when operating over canadian territory within Detroit TCA, contact Detroit approach 134.3
So is it 126.85 or 134.3?
Thx

What’s your mission? Are you transiting Detroit’s bravo airspace on an IFR plan, going VFR to Windsor? We contact 134.3 off of YQG IFR and it’s the same frequency for those getting VFR flight following or requesting to enter the bravo.

Basically 134.3 should do it for ya. Source: I’m based at YQG.

It is just a vfr flight from cyxu to cyqg.
And thanks, I think I will use 134.3

VFR? If low level just follow the 401 out of YXU, 26.7 the whole way, and contact YQG twr 24.7 before you get to the zone, unless you want flight following out of London.

This is exactly what you’ll want to do. Just avoid the shelves of Detroit’s bravo. Really easy to do when coming from the east.
