FacilityMHzSourceUsage note
Tower118.600PublishedPublished Tower frequency at 118.600 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.
Approach120.000PublishedRIYADH APP: Published Approach frequency at 120.000 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for arrival sequencing and radar vectors.
Departure124.525AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Departure frequency, so 124.525 MHz is the stable channel for the initial climb and the SID handoff after tower. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Ground121.600PublishedPublished Ground frequency at 121.600 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for taxi instructions on the movement area.
Delivery129.125AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Delivery frequency, so 129.125 MHz is the stable channel for IFR clearance and the squawk before taxi. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
ATIS127.150PublishedPublished ATIS frequency at 127.150 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).
