I fly out of a Class C airport that has 2 approach/departure frequences.  Selecting which frequency to use when arriving has always been a little bit of a challenge at my airport.   On frequency is north of the line running from 036 degrees to 219 degrees.   The other frequency is south of that line.  Because the line doesn't run in a cardinal direction, it is difficult at times to know which approach frequency to use.  I don't know how common this issue (non-cardinal dividing line) is but I suspect many larger airport have more than 2 approach frequencies.  I would like to see iFly provide the correct approach frequency based on where my airplane is located.  I would be nice if the correct frequency could be highlighted in the Airport Info or displayed as an overlay on the map being used.

Just zoom out on the Sectional until you see the frequency boxes and your airplane and it should be obvous.  You probably have your bearing to the airport showing also.  Another easy way is to click on an airport near where you are and look at it's frequencies for ATC, etc.

What he asked for is reasonable, and a good idea in my opinion.  It improves safety to not have your head down in the cockpit if not necessary.  The question is: is this data avaialble to the software (other than buried in airport info text)?  Probably not.

Yes, I saw what he asked.  AP will maybe consider it, although many of us have asked for ATC frequencies many times before.  I gave him a suggestion in lieu, since it may never happen.  IDK, but I don't think there is a way to gleen ATC frequencies based on your location other than looking at nearby airports, but I could be wrong.
