When I make an ILS approach plan with MSFS it doesn’t give me the ILS runway Nav frequency, do I have to google it?
I always used to google it, a few are automaticaly entered, but most of the time i had to search for it until recently but found this handy app for win 10. Just type in the Airport code and boom ILS frequency for each runway.
Most planes have a GPS that should tell you have the Approach ILS freq is, or any other ILS freq for any airport.
You do not Google the ILS Freq when you are flying in RL !!!
What Plane are you flying when you want an ILS Freq ???
Da62, don’t know where to pull out that info
Iitle navmap
If you don’t have a chart program, then use the free AirNav in your browser. US airports and current.
Go into your MFD, dial up the waypoint page, enter the airport code, and then scroll through the frequencies. If it’s close enough to show up on your “Nearest” page (airports), select the airport you want, go into “freq” tab, and scroll through all the available freqs.

Welll, that’s the RW answer.
The other easier solution is to use LNM – although that’s actually far more complex than any of the Asobo’s GPS systems !!!
or even easier … if you are happy to use a browser,
Mmmmm maybe check the real jeppesen approach charts?
Weird question for someone trying to do ILS without knowing where to locate the info…
Hopefully they integrate charts+ at some future point and we’ll have a lot more of the information we’d normally have available. On the other hand IRL we’d be carrying a nav bag with FLIP charts,etc., plus you’d be able to ask ATC for the information (although that can be embarrassing!).

Scroll even further down on that page to the section called "Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) Charts
". Open the pdf chart for the approach you want to fly, in this case “ILS OR LOC RWY 22”. You should end up here: 00134IL22 (skyvector.com)
The frequency is in the upper left corner of that chart: 111.5.
If you look before you start flying. It’s on the world map.
Check all the nav aids near the ends of the runway.
These are all com frequencies
Yes, thank you! That’s it.
Look at the upper right. It’s navaid. Set your filters to show navaids.
There are resources online but I suggest Navigraph and will have everything you need and more. It has worldwide chart coverage for FS2020. Approach plates, high enroute, low enroute charts, SIDS, and STARs. It uses Jeppesen charts and looks very close to what many of us use in the real world. It even puts the airplane position on the chart in real time which is pretty cool.
