Tower, approach, ground, and ATIS

Published rows are the frequencies stored for YSCB. 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
Tower118.700PublishedTWR (CTAF AH): 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.
Approach124.500PublishedApproach/Departure EAST of R35: Published Approach frequency at 124.500 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for arrival sequencing and radar vectors.
Approach125.900PublishedApproach/Departure WEST of R35 (MELBOURNE CNTR): Published Approach frequency at 125.900 MHz. Airband scanner listeners at the fence and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers use it for arrival sequencing and radar vectors.
Departure125.075AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Departure frequency, so 125.075 MHz is the stable channel for the initial climb and the SID handoff after tower. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Ground121.675AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Ground frequency, so 121.675 MHz is the stable channel for taxi instructions on the movement area. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Delivery129.575AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Delivery frequency, so 129.575 MHz is the stable channel for IFR clearance and the squawk before taxi. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
ATIS127.450PublishedPublished ATIS frequency at 127.450 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).
ATIS116.700PublishedATIS AH: Published ATIS frequency at 116.700 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).
