I'm planning on paying Roanoke-Blacksburg (KROA) a visit in the near future and I can't make sense of the approach/departure frequencies:
ROANOKE APPROACH: 118.15 ;RWY 16/34 360-150, RWY 06 23 126.9 ;RWY 16/34 151-359, RWY 06 075 339.8 ;RWY 06, 16/34
ROANOKE DEPARTURE:118.15 ;RWY 16/34 360-150, RWY 06 23 126.9 ;RWY 16/34 151-359, RWY 06 075 339.8 ;RWY 06, 16/34
CLASS C: 118.15 ;RWY 16/34 360-150, RWY 06 23 126.9 ;RWY 16/34 151-359, RWY 06 075 339.8 ;RWY 06, 16/34
I could understand if there was a range of heading and associated frequencies but the inclusion of the runways confuses me. Also "RWY 06 23" should that be RWY 06/24?
I suppose I can ignore everything I highlighted in yellow since 339.8 looks military to me.
Can someone give me the Cliff Notes version or the approach and departure frequencies please?

Re: Class C Frequency Confusion
Looking at the green book version of it looks clearer than what AirNav has. It almost looks like it's just lost in translation.

Re: Class C Frequency Confusion
That is a little clearer but why is RWY 24 ignored? And, why designate a runway for which frequency to use? I thought ATC would tell me what runway to use. If they had stuck to 360-150 frequency A and 151-359 frequency B that would be fine since the whole 360 degrees are covered. The part that throws me for a loop is yet another complete 360 degrees offset from the first for runway 6.amster105 wrote:Looking at the green book version of it looks clearer than what AirNav has.

If I don't come up with a better solution, I'm going to ignore the runway 6 headings and use the 16/34 frequencies. ATC can tell me to change frequency if they don't like the one I'm on.
