Approach121.325AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Approach frequency, so 121.325 MHz is the stable channel for arrival sequencing and radar vectors. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Departure125.475AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Departure frequency, so 125.475 MHz is the stable channel for the initial climb and the SID handoff after tower. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
