FacilityMHzSourceUsage note
Tower124.230PublishedPublished Tower frequency at 124.230 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for landing and takeoff clearances on local control.
Approach126.825PublishedPublished Approach frequency at 126.825 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for arrival sequencing and radar vectors.
Departure124.400AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Departure frequency, so 124.400 MHz is the stable channel for the initial climb and the SID handoff after tower. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Ground121.805PublishedPublished Ground frequency at 121.805 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for taxi instructions on the movement area.
Delivery121.955PublishedPublished Delivery frequency at 121.955 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for IFR clearance and the squawk before taxi.
ATIS136.525PublishedPublished ATIS frequency at 136.525 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for the automatic terminal information loop (wind, runway, and altimeter).
