Two Questions
1. You re inbound to KSAV 40 miles out on HDG 060. You re initial contact to KSAV APP should be on freq __?____
2. You re on the ramp at KSAV and intended outbound HDG will be 030. Your contact to KSAV DEP should be on freq___?____

The answers I think are: , 120.4 on Question 1 and 125.3 on Question 2. BUT to get to that answer is not straight forward.
Do you have a shortcut way to look at this data and arrive at the correct answer quickly? Other than to call the first freq and let them tell you which is the correct contact .

I attempted to place a pic of the KSAV APP and DEP freq DATA on an attach file but : "file to large"

no idea what you're talking about but I'm assuming that's airport data and you're getting it from a test

you can see airport comm data under the airport info pane.

if you're looking for nav data then you just have to know the name of your vor under the nav pane.

YES, The aircraft com freq for APP and DEP are given there on the airport information page, but not to clearly. The pilot needs to select the correct freq for The Approach com based on WHERE the aircraft is located , a deg radial FROM the airport Not the heading he's flying TO . ... and there lies the confusion.. probably left over from VOR nav FROM radials in the past.
However if you are on the ramp that selection for DEPARTURE freq would be made by the HDG you plan to fly to reach that destination.
Why not highlight the correct freq. , iFLy knows where it is in relation to the airport in question.
