FacilityMHzSourceUsage note
Tower118.720PublishedPublished Tower frequency at 118.720 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.
Approach120.400AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Approach frequency, so 120.400 MHz is the stable channel for arrival sequencing and radar vectors. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Departure124.350AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Departure frequency, so 124.350 MHz is the stable channel for the initial climb and the SID handoff after tower. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Ground121.850AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Ground frequency, so 121.850 MHz is the stable channel for taxi instructions on the movement area. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Delivery128.050AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Delivery frequency, so 128.050 MHz is the stable channel for IFR clearance and the squawk before taxi. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
ATIS133.400AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no ATIS frequency, so 133.400 MHz is the stable channel for the automatic terminal information loop (wind, runway, and altimeter). Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
