You plan a midfield crossing in LMML (Luqa) from West to East at altitude 6500 ft. What is the frequency you must use to request for permission?
Refer to figure.
Aside the LMML (Luqa) airport's symbol, information regarding the available frequencies is provided:
- Approach (APP): 128.150 MHz: The purpose of the approach frequency is to facilitate communication between the aircraft and the approach control unit. This frequency is used to provide pilots with instructions and information necessary for a safe and efficient approach to the airport, including guidance on descent, alignment with the runway, intersection of an airspace (crossing from West to East), and any other relevant air traffic control instructions. At 6500 ft the aircraft will be flying within TMA Malta, Class “C” airspace (controlled), where a clearance (permission) is required to intersect it.
- ATIS: 127.400 MHz: The Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) is a continuous and repetitive broadcast of current, routine information provided to arriving and departing aircraft. It includes details, such as weather conditions, runway information, and other essential operational data. ATIS is designed to reduce the communication load on air traffic control frequencies by providing pilots with necessary information, before they establish communication with air traffic services.
- Ground (GND): 121.600 MHz: The purpose of the ground frequency is to facilitate communication between aircraft and ground control at an airport. This frequency is used for managing aircraft movements on the ground, such as taxying to and from runways, parking areas, and gates. It helps ensure safe and efficient ground operations by providing instructions and information to pilots.
