Narrative:
On sign in for flight jun/xa/97, a message was waiting from paris ATC about a missed frequency change to 129.0 on flight inbound jun/xb/97. We did not copy the change nor acknowledge the change. All 3 pilots were monitoring ATC. After a few mins of no response, we then called ory approach who gave us the correct frequency. Both paris and ory said it was not a problem after the short delay. If we did miss the call, it may have been due to an HSI/ADI failure on the captain's side that caused a distraction.
