Current Frequency checks

[gnirtS]

Trying to reconfigure the scanner as i suspect i have a mix of old/new and incomplete frequencies for F'Ford so wondering if someone can help.

Currently i have:-

339.700 - Fairford Ground
246.450 - Fairford Tower
246.350 - Fairford Tower NEW
124.800 - Fairford App
134.550 - Fairford App
240.550 - Fairford Radar
277.625 - Fairford
277.775 - Fairford
270.050 - Fairford
261.000 - Fairford BAT
241.450 - Fairford BAT

Are any of these now defunct and safe to remove and are there any current ones im missing (ATC and/or Ops?)

[Geoff]

Tower 246.350
Tower 124.80
ATIS 135.450
Approach 127.250 (Brize Norton?
Pmsv 284.425
ATIS 292.300
Ops 337.750 U2
Ground 339.700
Director 300.025 (Brize Norton?

Hope these help

[njjarvis]

321.000 should be useful soon to add to Geoff's list too

[TREBAX_RAVEN]

321.000 should be useful soon to add to Geoff's list too

Do you know what 321.000 is?

[SamP]

321.0 has been used in the past as B-52 Bomber Ops during deployments

This may help,

[Timmo]

The current ones I have in my scanner and mostly cross checked with the UK Mil AIP are;

Ground: 121.175 & 339.700
Tower: 124.800 & 246.350
ATIS: 135.458 & 292.300
Dispatch: 233.475
Supervisor Of Flight: 279.275
Metro: 284.425
Bomber Ops: 321.000
U-2 Ops: 337.750

The Brize frequencies which may be of use;
Radar: 124.275 & 278.350
Director: 133.750 & 399.025
Approach: 127.250 & 231.950

Thanks all - my list was way out of date and inaccurate!

[davegt4]

Yeah my list was well out as well.

Thanks

[kevanm]

Thanks for this. Updates always appreciated.

[TREBAX_RAVEN]

Thanks for this. Updates always appreciated.

I second this, thanks. very useful indeed would it be worth making this a permanent sticky thread that can be updated every so often?

[drallim]

could someone briefly explain what CAC, ATIS & PMSV stand for please.

[tomahawk_pa38]

Is there a best way of storing these in a scanner, eg should they be in numerical order or doesn't it matter. Thank you

[njjarvis]

Ascending numerical order would make it easier for the scanner instead of jumping back and forth through the frequency range, not sure how much difference it actually makes in practice though.
Also easier to find a specific frequency when flicking through manually that way

[Timmo]

could someone briefly explain what CAC, ATIS & PMSV stand for please.

ATIS = Automatic Terminal Information Service - Broadcasts aerodrome information, current meteorological conditions, runway in use.
CAC = Centralised Approach Control - in the case of Fairford, this is handled by controllers at Brize Norton.
PMSV = Pilot-to-Meteorological Service.

Many thanks njjarvis

Hi all,

trying to get some frequencies for Fairford and this thread came up. Can anyone confirm whether this list I've put together (from various sources) is any good?


Zone 119.000
Grd 121.175
Grd 121.800
Approach 122.100
Radar 124.275
Tower 124.800
Approach 127.250
Director 133.750
Approach 231.950
Grd 234.250

Radar 278.350
Grd 339.700
Approach 362.300

Any help much appreciated

119.000 is Brize Zone, Fairford traffic doesn't tend to use this frequency.

122.100 for Approach, I don't think this is correct. Brize handle approaches, normally on Director 133.750 or 399.025 before handing over to Fairford Tower.

127.250 and 231.950 are the Brize Approach frequencies, as above, probably not used for Fairford outside of RIAT.

Fairford Ground UHF is now 378.225

Fairford Dispatch is 276.750

Fairford Command Post (Ops) is 280.025

Fairford Metro is 336.700

Fairford ATIS 135.455 & 292.300

Tower remains 124.800 and 246.350

Brize Radar UHF is now 389.575 so you can probably remove 278.350

Fairford Command Post (Ops) is 280.025

Fairford Metro is 336.700

Fairford ATIS 135.455 & 292.300

Brilliant,

many thanks for the reply . . . I'll start loading my scanner this afternoon!
