Hi guys, I noticed that the Navigraph Charts, AIRAC database and also LIDO charts (MSFS2024) showing the frequency 110.95 for the ILS 24 at Rhodos (LGPR). Yesterday I thought my aircraft was broken, because it did not capture it. After some google and testing I saw (and could capture it when tuned it manual) the real frequency of the ILS is 110.3. Is there a reason for the mismatch?
110.3 must be an old, outdated frequency. It’s possible your simulator still uses it through a custom scenery pack or something.
Here’s the official chart from Greece’s AIP:

Also 110.95 (not that it’s made very obvious on that chart):
And here, the chart for the other ILS approach, same localizer, same frequency:
LG_AD_2_LGRP_IAC-8_en.pdf (1.7 MB)
Which simulator are you using and which scenery are you using for LGRP (default or third-party)?

Hello Tim,
thank you for the fast response. I am using MSFS2024 current version and the JustSim scenery. I am wondering when did the frequency changed? Because when you are googleing the frequency it is always saying 110.3 on various soruces.
So does it mean my scenery is wrong? I do not think they will update it -.-.
Best regards
Oliver
Not sure when it changed in the real world, but in terms of Jeppesen data (as provided by Navigraph) goes, it would seem that:
- frequency was 110.30 in cycle 2403 (that’s as far as my backups go)
it remained 110.30 until cycle 2502 inclusive - starting with cycle 2503 where there was no ILS frequency
(possibly localizer was INOP for a while) - it became 110.95 starting with cycle 2601
that’s fairly recent (only about 4.5 months since 2601 became effective on January 22) – in flight simulation, it does often take a good while for scenery packs to get updates…
Since, as mentioned, Navigraph’s data comes from Jeppesen, I expect it followed the real world changes pretty closely, notwithstanding any delays making the AIRAC cycle inclusion cutoff date, changes initially announced by NOTAM, etc.
Regarding the LGRP scenery, it is indeed possible for MSFS scenery packs to include their own ILS frequency override for the runway (I don’t have this specific scenery, unfortunately, nor do I have time to test it in-sim anyway these days, so I cannot tell you if this one does).
As a troubleshooting step you could try un-installing said scenery pack, relaunching the sim and see if you’re able to tune 110.95 then.
I can’t really help you beyond that (I am no expert when it comes to scenery troubleshooting under MSFS), but some of Navigraph’s staff may be able to help you further.

It was changed with AIRAC cycle 2601 …
Yes, because when you try to set the ILS frequency with the stock scenery, you see a correct LOC/GS signal at 110.95…
MSFS 2024 1.7.27.0 - stock scenery, stock C172 with G1000, AIRAC 2605 installed:
So, it is a 3rd-party scenery issue, yes, because when you use the stock scenery from the sim, the data is correct. So not, navdata related …
Cheers,
Richard
