Narrative:

The radio frequency for turning on the runway lights at H04 airport is listed on some websites as 122.8 while the CTAF frequency for this airport is listed as 122.9.the current sectional shows the CTAF frequency as 122.9. This is problematic for pilots who may not be aware that the lights are controlled by a different frequency other than that listed on the navigational sectional. Solution: the lights should be controlled by the same CTAF frequency. Otherwise a NOTAM should be listed for this airport explaining that the frequency for turning on runway lights is not the same as the CTAF frequency.pilots would expect the lights to be controlled by the same frequency as CTAF.

Narrative: THE RADIO FREQUENCY FOR TURNING ON THE RUNWAY LIGHTS AT H04 AIRPORT IS LISTED ON SOME WEBSITES AS 122.8 WHILE THE CTAF FREQUENCY FOR THIS AIRPORT IS LISTED AS 122.9.THE CURRENT SECTIONAL SHOWS THE CTAF FREQUENCY AS 122.9. THIS IS PROBLEMATIC FOR PILOTS WHO MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT THE LIGHTS ARE CONTROLLED BY A DIFFERENT FREQUENCY OTHER THAN THAT LISTED ON THE NAVIGATIONAL SECTIONAL. SOLUTION: THE LIGHTS SHOULD BE CONTROLLED BY THE SAME CTAF FREQUENCY. OTHERWISE A NOTAM SHOULD BE LISTED FOR THIS AIRPORT EXPLAINING THAT THE FREQUENCY FOR TURNING ON RUNWAY LIGHTS IS NOT THE SAME AS THE CTAF FREQUENCY.PILOTS WOULD EXPECT THE LIGHTS TO BE CONTROLLED BY THE SAME FREQUENCY AS CTAF.
