CFS Nanaimo; Pacific Radio discrepancy 126.0 (7)?

Is there an error in the Canada Flight Supplement for the Nanaimo listing? Looks like RCO "Pacific Radio" is listed as 126.0 not 126.7 (VTA).

I think it should be 126.7. That's what my paper CFS says.

"Roger wilco". Thank you David for looking the frequency up in your paper copy.

Will notify ForeFlight gurus and see how long it will take to fix it?

Thank you.

Interesting it is not listed on the Comm Boxes, I.e. VTA ?

Unfortunately the most current VTA and VNC were printed in May 2014 before the change
and the new versions aren't scheduled to be published until this June.

Sorry for being wrong! I looked at the wrong cfs, grabbed the expired one. [FLUSHED FACE]
Good thing for all those BC guys on here! I'll keep nose out of there and keep I in Alberta from now on. [WHITE SMILING FACE]

Re: CFS Nanaimo; Pacific Radio discrepancy 126.0 (7)?

The other good frequency is 123.2 if your low in the Georgia Straight or Gulf Islands. FLoatplane traffic.

Georgia Straight is a hippy newspaper in Vancouver, you are referring to the Salish Sea.
Never had much use for all those frequencies, except to get a transponder code when re-entering civilization. If Victoria tower feels lonely they'll try to call you on 123.2, but it won't be to be helpful. Only fltplan is the border crossing, everything else is Sat flight following with someone that cares.
