November 8, 20223 yr Flew VFR from Blackpool to Doncaster and back this afternoon. A couple of issues. Leaving Blackpool, all good on APR on 119.955. Approaching Doncaster all good, correct handover from Approach to Tower. 1) But leaving Doncaster, ATIS indicates RWY20, clearance requested for RWY 20, but clearance given for taxi and departure from RWY02. Actual weather suggested RWY 20 should be the active. 2) Approaching Blackpool, couldn't raise approach on 119.955. Not even a radio check. But spoke to Blackpool TWR on 118.40. This is incorrect. Blackpool should be just 119.955 unless told to contact TWR by ATC. Hope that helps. P2ATC is great.
November 8, 20223 yr Commercial Member I suspect the problem is with the frequency. 119.955 is not a valid 25kHz spaced frequency, currently supported by P2A. P2A uses 119.95 for the Appr_Twr frequency at EGNH. Outbound, I suspect P2A dialed that in on its own and it worked fine. On the way back, if your aircraft supports 8.33kHz spaced frequencies, and you were able in 119.955 and that would not have worked in P2A. If you email me the log file for the flight, I can confirm this. Dave
