Departure118.950PublishedPublished Departure frequency at 118.950 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for the initial climb and the SID handoff after tower.
Ground121.700PublishedWashington Ground: Published Ground frequency at 121.700 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for taxi instructions on the movement area.
Delivery129.325AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Delivery frequency, so 129.325 MHz is the stable channel for IFR clearance and the squawk before taxi. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
ATIS134.225AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers.
