Alan and the group...

Echoing that from this Milcom lurker's location in Northern Virginia 
about 15 miles from Dulles International
Airport [KIAD].  I've recently heard commercial aircraft on 134.1 
calling "Dulles Operations".

And on the topic of the IFR supplement, here's an example.  135.775 is 
not listed in the IFR supplement
effective June 8 for anything closer to northern Virginia than the RCAG 
for Cleveland Center [ZOB] at
Holland, Michigan. And it's not in the VFR supplement effective May 11 
for anything closer than an airport
in Charlotte, NC.  But in the last 3 months or so and as recent as last 
night, I've heard the Potomac
TRACON on 135.775 -- mostly for approaches from the north and northwest 
to Dulles and occasionally
for southern departures.

Which brings up a larger question for Allan and the Milcom group as a 
whole: just how accurate and
all-encompasing are the IFR and VFR supplements supposed to be?  Use of 
135.775 has been going on
for several months...more than enough time for it to show up in print in 
the supplement.  It's not like the
"do not publish" restriction on the super-mondo-high ARTCC freqs for 
special use airspace above flight
level 600, so how much more freq information is NOT listed in the 
supplements?  Anybody else's experiences?


Joe                    standard disclaimer and all that: blah, blah blah
