Tower, approach, ground, and ATIS

Published rows are the frequencies stored for SBRJ. Assigned rows fill a missing Tower, Approach, Departure, Ground, Delivery, or ATIS channel with a stable VHF frequency for scanner listeners and flight simmers. Assigned channels are listen-only until you confirm the chart.

FacilityMHzSourceUsage note
Tower118.700PublishedRIO 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.
Approach119.350PublishedRIO CON: Published Approach frequency at 119.350 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for arrival sequencing and radar vectors.
Departure126.175AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Departure frequency, so 126.175 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.
Delivery121.050PublishedTFC: Published Delivery frequency at 121.050 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.
ATIS132.650PublishedPublished ATIS frequency at 132.650 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).
