Narrative:
VUCAN2 arrival to cyyc via the yyc VOR transition. After the yyc VOR transition; the commercial plate shows to intercept the yyc R-345; then vectors to the ILS for runway 16. When selecting runway 16 and the VUCAN2 arrival in the FMS database; the FMS shows a heading of 345 after the yyc VOR which is not the correct procedure for the arrival and runway as depicted in the chart.
