FacilityMHzSourceUsage note
Tower121.100PublishedPublished Tower frequency at 121.100 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.
Approach120.625AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Approach frequency, so 120.625 MHz is the stable channel for arrival sequencing and radar vectors. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Departure125.875AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Departure frequency, so 125.875 MHz is the stable channel for the initial climb and the SID handoff after tower. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Ground121.900PublishedPublished Ground frequency at 121.900 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for taxi instructions on the movement area.
Delivery127.550PublishedPublished Delivery frequency at 127.550 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.
ATIS119.150PublishedPublished ATIS frequency at 119.150 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).
