FacilityMHzSourceUsage note
Tower118.700PublishedFIUME TWR: Published Tower frequency at 118.700 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.
Approach120.175PublishedROMA DIRECTOR ARR: Published Approach frequency at 120.175 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for arrival sequencing and radar vectors.
Departure126.725AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Departure frequency, so 126.725 MHz is the stable channel for the initial climb and the SID handoff after tower. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Ground121.800PublishedFIUME GND/APRON: Published Ground frequency at 121.800 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for taxi instructions on the movement area.
Delivery121.725PublishedFIUME RAMP: Published Delivery frequency at 121.725 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.
ATIS121.850PublishedPublished ATIS frequency at 121.850 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).
