Tower, approach, ground, and ATIS

Published rows are the frequencies stored for YPAD. 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
Tower120.500PublishedPublished Tower frequency at 120.500 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.
Approach118.200PublishedApproach (East): Published Approach frequency at 118.200 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for arrival sequencing and radar vectors.
Approach124.200PublishedApproach (West): Published Approach frequency at 124.200 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for arrival sequencing and radar vectors.
Departure126.850AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Departure frequency, so 126.850 MHz is the stable channel for the initial climb and the SID handoff after tower. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Ground121.700PublishedPublished 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.
Delivery126.100PublishedPublished Delivery frequency at 126.100 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.
ATIS116.400PublishedPublished ATIS frequency at 116.400 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).
ATIS134.500PublishedPublished ATIS frequency at 134.500 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).
