Hello. Sorry for the disturbance, people...
This question on the FAA ATPL written examination study guide;
Which approach control frequency is indicated for the TNP.DOWNE3 Arrival with LAX as the destination?
128.5 MHz
124.9 MHz
124.5 MHz
I look into the A/FD excerpt and see the following under COMMUNICATIONS;
APP CON: 128.5 (045º - 089º), 124.9 (090º - 224º), 124.5 (225º - 044º)
I would have said, based on the arrival, that you are inbound on radial 068 of LAX VOR, therefore the answer should be 128.5 MHz (between LAX radials 045 - 089). The guide says the answer is 124.5 MHz.
Some background now, please, before I get pitched into about not understanding the A/FD. I am not familiar with the A/FD format, really, and am preparing for the exam based on a company requirement (I work for a South American based airline). On what premise is the provided answer the correct one???
Thanks!
