We went out NVFR at O'crack sparrow for the C172 search earlier this week, and I (foolishly) grabbed the new VNC for my co pilot. Much angst on the way as he tried to find frequencies, until we realised the mistake and used the current chart.
WTF are we supposed to do to communicate? I'm at a loss to understand the removal of area freqs from VNC & VTC's, although the AF's still "exist" and are promulgated on ERC's
Advance in safety? Improvement in communications? Warm & fuzzy feeling for the Rocket Scientist who has had the
location of transmitters added to the frequency box?
The mind boggles, quite frankly. I'm glad that I have a full IFR chart subscription, it will give me a clue when it all turns to tears.
