Narrative:
Pilot controlled lighting (pilot controlled lighting) is listed on nos charts; airport facility directory; jeppesen charts; and the sectional chart as 122.7. The actual frequency is 122.95. After landing on an unlit runway with only PAPI guidance; I found out that the frequency is not correctly published. A bit late I think. Next day; I contacted the airport informing [them] of the situation. The local FBO was well aware of the problem and said that they have been trying to work with the prior manager for over 6 months to correct the situation. Additionally; they said that many flights have arrived in this same time period that were using the old/incorrect CTAF frequency (122.95) because the information was not up to date in their FMS or similar systems. Hopefully this can be corrected soon before someone crashes!summary:correct and published CTAF is 122.7.current pilot controlled lighting is 122.95.pilot controlled lighting needs to be changed to the CTAF of 122.7 if at all possible.
