Well just to make things more fun, this isn't reflected in the latest
issue AFD sectional bulletin. But there are new approach plates with the
new identifier.

Oh yeah, they've installed an AWOS out there about a year ago -- nice,
119.125. But the frequency is / has been notamed, and is not yet
reflected in either the most current sectional or AFD...

It is reflected in the A/FD dated Nov 20th.

Even if it weren't in the A/FD, it could just as easily have been published
via the D NOTAM system which is the complement to the A/FD. The FAA simply
assumes you're aware of all available information.

What really blows away some pilots is sometimes changes are made coincident
to the new A/FD publication and the change is not reflected in the NOTAM.
So even if you check your chart and the NOTAMs, if you don't check the A/FD,
you still may not have all the available information.
