Stanley777 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hi everyone, I am trying to learn about and use Skyvector. Maybe I am missing something, but here is my question, please. I cannot see where it shows the ILS frequencies, at least for non-US airports. For example, a quick Google search told me that Heathrow (EGLL) has these frequencies for the following runways: For Rwy 27R (LOC/ILS), the frequency is 110.30 For Rwy 09L (GS/ILS), the frequency is 110.30 For Rwy 09R (GS/ILS), the frequency is 109.50 For Rwy 27L (GS/ILS), the frequency is 109.50 But I don't see this information on Skyvector. Could someone please explain this. Thank you.

MikeF Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 In the botton right corner of the Flight Plan window is a button labeled Nav Log. Click that and you should see the Airport Charts. It should be on that I would guess. Just started playing around with SkyVector, so I may be wrong.

Stanley777 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hi MikeF, Thank you for your response. But no, the ILS frequencies are not on the Nav Log.

MikeF Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Not on the log. Scroll down and you should get the airport charts below.

Stanley777 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hi MikeF, Could you please upload an image of where I should be looking? I appreciate your response -- I really do -- but I just don't see the item to which you are referring.

MikeF Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Notice the Flight Plan box in top left of map: Click the Nav Log in bottom right of that box and it will bring up a new page: Scroll down on that page like I did to get below the listing of the Airports and waypoints. You then will see the Charts Ryzen 7 5800X@4.7ghz, Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus, 32 Gig Gskill 3600, AMD 6800XT Black, Corsair 850w, Soundblaster Z, Samsung 970 M.2 1tb for o/s, Samsung 850 Evo 500g for MSFS, Samsung 860 Evo 1tb for Games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BushPilot Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 It seems ILS Frequencies (Approach Plates, SIDS STARS) are only available for the United States in skyvector Started: Flight Simulator 98 (Year 1999) Private Pilot Certificate ASEL: August 7th 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I use openAIP which has a simple search function and lists the ILS frequencies of all airports that have them: http://www.openaip.net/airports Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

henrystreet Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 If you want charts, you will need to go to each country (or the EuroUnion) AIP website. Some countries charge for charts. Do an internet search with the country name and "AIP" Here is the UK: https://www.nats.aero/do-it-online/ais/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley777 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, I appreciate everyone's input. Nothing is fully solving the problem. However -- and this is important -- when I used to use FSX, all you had to do was click on the map for any airport in the world, and you would get all the communication and navigation frequencies in one, easy-to-use page. The page was called "facility information." This feature that existed in FSX should be incorporated into FS2020.

christian2018 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 1. Type in a certain location indicator like "EDDM" for Munich and press "go" 2. Then you will get (below the input field) the name of the airport followed by an "i" für "information" 3. Press "i" and you will find a lot of frequencies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley777 Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hi christian2018, Thank you very much for your response. OK. I did what you said, and indeed a lot of frequencies came up. But I am confused. Maybe it is my lack of knowledge. I typed eddm ils into my Google search bar, and here is what came up: GS/ILS 109.50 08L GS/ILS 109.30 08R GS/ILS 108.30 26L GS/ILS 108.70 26R Not even one of these frequencies shows up in Skyvector, even proceeding as you say to do. Could you, or anyone, please explain what is going on. Thank you.

shb7 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 It doesn't seem like it should be too hard for asobo to do that. They should of had flight simmers consulting with them when they wrote the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timberleaf Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 First, you are correct. MFS should have this information easily available. They don't. Second, in the mean time, you will have to settle on third party apps to provide this information. Third, only a suggestion, try Navigraph. It is a pay-to-play. I have used them for years.

shb7 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I just did a google search, and there's a web site that has ils frequencies for all the airports in the world I think. It's called fsxmap.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) If all you need are the ILS frequencies, try Quick ILS: https://flightsim.to/file/1629/quick-ils It has it's own installer, works perfectly with MSFS and can be used in-flight.

Stanley777 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hi Tim, Excellent. That Quick ILS is very helpful. The flightsim.to website impressed me so much, in fact, that I created an account and I also downloaded a set of liveries for my Beechcraft King Air 350i. Thank you so much.
