Frequencies in P2ATC not matching freq on Navigraph charts

Featured Replies

I'm using Navigraph charts and I always have most current Navigraph DB updated in the P2ATC. I fly in VR, so I use 100% voice communication with P2ATC, I can't see P2ATC interface, so I can't check the freq. in P2ATC. Like in the real world flying, where we have just the controllers voice in the headset and notinh like P2ATC interface.

On take-off, while still on TWR freq, I would like to have DEP or APP freq preselected following the relevant Navigraph STAR chart. However P2ATC TWR very often hands me over to different DEP or APP freq than the one specified on the Navigraph chart. At this stage of flight it's difficult to handle the plane and to turn the freq knobs.

Quite often P2ATC uses also different GND or TWR freq vs. the ones specified on the charts.


Is there a way to convince P2ATC to use the same freq as provided on the Navigraph charts? Or to print a frequency briefing listing all the freq expected during the flight, following the flight plan specified in P2ATC?

There are typically multiple frequencies for each type controller at larger airports, with only one of them being printed on the chart.

The program cannot see the chart and the data does not indicate which frequencies are published.

The program does normally use the first frequency in the data for a given controller, but even that is not always the case.  

You can see all the Frequencies used by P2A by pressing the FREQ button to the right of the map and use the first one in the list for a particular controller to preset your radio.  Just double check when you get the assignment to be sure you use the one assigned by ATC.

The problem is that I'm flying in VR, unable to see P2ATC interface, I must rely on voice only. I will try to use copilot option to set my frequencies, to reduce me workload
