FacilityMHzSourceUsage note
Tower119.200AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Tower frequency, so 119.200 MHz is the stable channel for landing and takeoff clearances on local control. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Approach120.350AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Approach frequency, so 120.350 MHz is the stable channel for arrival sequencing and radar vectors. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Departure125.500AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Departure frequency, so 125.500 MHz is the stable channel for the initial climb and the SID handoff after tower. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Ground121.775AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Ground frequency, so 121.775 MHz is the stable channel for taxi instructions on the movement area. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
Delivery128.100AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no Delivery frequency, so 128.100 MHz is the stable channel for IFR clearance and the squawk before taxi. Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
ATIS132.750AssignedAssigned VHF for airband scanner listeners and MSFS, X-Plane, and VATSIM flight simmers. The open record has no ATIS frequency, so 132.750 MHz is the stable channel for the automatic terminal information loop (wind, runway, and altimeter). Listen only, and confirm the chart before you transmit.
