FacilityMHzSourceUsage note
Tower118.500PublishedPublished Tower frequency at 118.500 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.
Approach127.850PublishedPublished Approach frequency at 127.850 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for arrival sequencing and radar vectors.
Departure124.850AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Departure frequency, so 124.850 MHz is the stable channel for the initial climb and the SID handoff after tower. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Ground121.675PublishedPublished Ground frequency at 121.675 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for taxi instructions on the movement area.
Delivery129.950AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Delivery frequency, so 129.950 MHz is the stable channel for IFR clearance and the squawk before taxi. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
ATIS127.200PublishedPublished ATIS frequency at 127.200 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).
