FacilityMHzSourceUsage note
Tower125.700PublishedCAPITOL TWR: Published Tower frequency at 125.700 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.
Approach120.425AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Approach frequency, so 120.425 MHz is the stable channel for arrival sequencing and radar vectors. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Departure125.775AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Departure frequency, so 125.775 MHz is the stable channel for the initial climb and the SID handoff after tower. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Ground121.700PublishedPublished 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.
Delivery121.100PublishedPublished Delivery frequency at 121.100 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.
ATIS126.750PublishedPublished ATIS frequency at 126.750 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).
