Touchdown! Greaser!
The frequency for the tower/CTAF and VOR were changed last Thursday at my home base (KFCM) and while there are two NOTAMs to that effect (one for each) the latest approach charts and airport diagrams from Jeppesen and NACO show the old frequencies. The change was implemented on a chart change date (Feb 11,2010) and the new charts do correctly indicate the new location of the VOR which was moved from the center of the airport to a point half a mile east.
Obviously someone made a mistake with the charts, but I'm wondering why there's no NOTAM indicating that the charts are in error. Seems like there should be more than just the freq change NOTAMs themselves:
******** Navigation NOTAMs ********
!FCM 02/064 FCM NAV VOR/DME 117.7 CH 124 VICE 111.8 CH 55 WEF
1002110901
******** Communication NOTAMs ********
!FCM 02/066 FCM COM TWR LC 119.15 VICE 118.1 WEF 1002110901
Doesn't the FAA normally publish a NOTAM against a specific chart when there's an error on that chart?
