I used to plot all the freqs and transition on my WAC Chart. But that was before I started to go IFR. I now use the ERC low and the WAC just to check LSALT (I like to visualyse Cumulo-Granite as I fly around Cairns).

Where Pesawat is coming from is the VNCs. Sorta like big VTCs. If you are in a VNC area (sadly not NQ even though we have almost continuous C from Brisbane to Cairns), you have all the airspace and all the freqs on one chart. Not any more.

The VTC is a good map for a short hop, like the one I decribed to Dick and which I am sure he knows well. 57 NM. not a great deal of planning, 115 on the VOR and off I go.

But now there are no app freqs on the maps. Not identifyably approach anyway. I think that will clag the tower freqs as people try to get in and are passed back.

While I generally support NAS, I think the frequency issue is a retrograde step and should be fixed.
