Contacting ATC to Enter Class B above 12,500'

Post by arrow203 »

I may have a requirement for an upcoming flight to contact ATC in the Golden BC area to enter Class B airspace. From what I've been able to scrounge up here http://www.ivao.ca/atc/czvr/acc it looks like I should be contacting Vancouver Centre in the Enderby sector on 134.55. Can anyone confirm that this is correct?

Thanks,

What the hell website is that? Virtual controllers? Is that a flight-sim thing?

I Googled "Vancouver FIR Class B" as I was unfamiliar with where else to find this information. I thought I would post here before phoning FSS. I recognize that the link I provided does not constitute official information.

Thanks for your input, everyone

When in doubt, check your CFS.

The entry for Golden has the PAL as "Vancouver Ctr 132.35 (Kamloops) (may not be receivable on ground)

I have no idea why they'd use the Kamloops frequency as opposed to the Enderby or Cranbrook frequencies, but there's your answer.
