I would've thought that contacting them over ATC should do it.

I played Argo Campaign long ago (for my memory), but IIRC:
1. Argo was OHP (Oliver Hazard Perry).
2. The method for lowering the rails was definitely given somewhere here on the forums, but I couldn't find it now. I think it involved setting a frequency in ME, somewhere, somehow. Then you fly and tell them you're inbound via - I think - ATC comms menu. They should lower the rails then.
3. Argo Campaign may not have this feature pre-set or I was just too absent-minded to spot/use it. If the former is true, you'd have to modify each mission in advance for it to work (if that's possible). If the latter is true - see in the ATC menu if you have Argo anywhere there.

Sure, but which one? 🤔 😉

Thanks. I did actually read through the accompanying docs, but couldn't find any clue there. 

It seems easy comms is forced in this campaign, but I'm not sure. Anyway, a list of ATC targets is shown in the comms menu. And all ships seems to be on the default  127.500 frequency, while the mission card states it should be on 116.000

Well, gonna try it some more. Of course it's possible to land anyway, but after getting used to the Mi-8, the Huey is literally a nightmare. And was soooo easy before. 😊
