Narrative:

Upon climb out of atl; tower handed us off to departure. (We had departed runway 9L.) the controller had simply said 'contact departure.' we switched over to frequency 125.00 per the atl 5 departure (ATL5.atl) commercial chart 10-3 mar/11/05. We could hear people talking but the controller never responded until about 3 mins later when he stated that 125.00 was a tower frequency and to contact 135.7. When we contacted that controller; he seemed irritated and began vectoring us around traffic. When we inquired about the frequency off of the chart; he stated that it was incorrect and that our charts were wrong. Clearance had never given us a departure frequency; more than likely due to the fact that it was supposed to be on the chart. Upon inquiring with dispatch; we verified that our charts were indeed current. We never received a TCAS alert and the controller did not say anymore about the situation. I believe the sole cause was the incorrect frequency on the chart; but I believe it would be beneficial to have clearance delivery make it a standard practice to give pilots the departure frequency.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: AN ERJ170 PLT RPTS THE ATL5.ATL CHART IN USE THE DAY OF HIS FLT LISTED THE INCORRECT DEP CTL FREQ CAUSING A NORDO EVENT FOR APPROX 3 MINS.

Narrative: UPON CLBOUT OF ATL; TWR HANDED US OFF TO DEP. (WE HAD DEPARTED RWY 9L.) THE CTLR HAD SIMPLY SAID 'CONTACT DEP.' WE SWITCHED OVER TO FREQ 125.00 PER THE ATL 5 DEP (ATL5.ATL) COMMERCIAL CHART 10-3 MAR/11/05. WE COULD HEAR PEOPLE TALKING BUT THE CTLR NEVER RESPONDED UNTIL ABOUT 3 MINS LATER WHEN HE STATED THAT 125.00 WAS A TWR FREQ AND TO CONTACT 135.7. WHEN WE CONTACTED THAT CTLR; HE SEEMED IRRITATED AND BEGAN VECTORING US AROUND TFC. WHEN WE INQUIRED ABOUT THE FREQ OFF OF THE CHART; HE STATED THAT IT WAS INCORRECT AND THAT OUR CHARTS WERE WRONG. CLRNC HAD NEVER GIVEN US A DEP FREQ; MORE THAN LIKELY DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE CHART. UPON INQUIRING WITH DISPATCH; WE VERIFIED THAT OUR CHARTS WERE INDEED CURRENT. WE NEVER RECEIVED A TCAS ALERT AND THE CTLR DID NOT SAY ANYMORE ABOUT THE SITUATION. I BELIEVE THE SOLE CAUSE WAS THE INCORRECT FREQ ON THE CHART; BUT I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO HAVE CLRNC DELIVERY MAKE IT A STANDARD PRACTICE TO GIVE PLTS THE DEP FREQ.
