FacilityMHzSourceUsage note
Tower122.500PublishedPublished Tower frequency at 122.500 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.
Approach122.500PublishedPublished Approach frequency at 122.500 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for arrival sequencing and radar vectors.
Departure124.950AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Departure frequency, so 124.950 MHz is the stable channel for the initial climb and the SID handoff after tower. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Ground121.750AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Ground frequency, so 121.750 MHz is the stable channel for taxi instructions on the movement area. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Delivery128.450AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Delivery frequency, so 128.450 MHz is the stable channel for IFR clearance and the squawk before taxi. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
ATIS132.200AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no ATIS frequency, so 132.200 MHz is the stable channel for the automatic terminal information loop (wind, runway, and altimeter). Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
