Flight following frequency map

[Greg Arehart]

Anybody have a link to a map that shows ARTCC frequencies? Surely this information must be out there somewhere, but I cannot find it. Would be handy to have to be able to dial in flight following.

thanks,
greg

If you have the Garmin x96 series, a good way to get the frequency is by asking for nearest ARTCC. It may not always be the right frequency but whoever you talk to can give it to you.

Good thought Larry. I have a 495 which should have this stuff and hadn't thought of that avenue. I would like to have a map that I can print out and/or use on my home computer for planning purposes.

cheers,

Hi Greg,

I use the Airport/Facility Directory (AFD) for my flight planning. It is the FAA/Government approved bible. This is not as convienent as clicking on the Garmin or whatever; but you can look at nearby airports and find the ATC contact for that area. I then make a list of those. To date, after 10 years of doing this for x-country flights; my lists have been correct when ATC hands me off.

I keep current AFD in areas I am flying. (Mostly South Central) Should something go awry, (runway maintenance or something similar) you can point out that you are using their approved publication.

Cheers and happy flying.

On my 496 I press the "NRST" button and tab over to "ARTC" and there it is! Not always right but as n5lp said who ever is on that freq will give you the right one.

The Air Chart Systems books have them too.

...that is missing on the Sectionals that would be useful to VFR pilots requesting Flight Following. If you are near Class B or C airspace, then Approach frequencies are listed, but no frequencies for en-route.

If you use www.skyvector.com you can switch to the Low Altitude IFR charts (the "L" ones) and see the Center Frequencies which are marked in a zig-zag type blue box.

I just transfer these frequencies to my sectionals, and it has proved useful on cross-country flights after loosing a center on FF. You can just pick up the next frequency along your route.

The above is for those VFR pilots without fancy GPS's and still flying with actual sectionals....

Thanks Gil & Ron!

I just made a practice run on the SkyVector site and it works beautifully. Sure faster than thumbing through an AFD. This is a good thread...sure helped me out here. I love this forum.

IFR Enroute Low Altitude charts will give you the Center Freqs. you need for flight following. They are in the little blue boxes in the sectors you will be flying through.

I have so old low altitude charts (they were free) would these be accurate enough? Do the freqs change much?
