![]() ![]() Planes A320/737 size and up generally have crystal clear reception. Generally the higher up the aircraft are, the clearer the reception, although I can only hear aircraft down to about 3000 ft due to the distance s involved. If anyone else knows that would be great alsoīen, I am located about an 120km from where Cheekytrolly lives and I can pick up airliner radio signals from my house, I too have the 72XLT. I ask this because i am considering purchasing the Uniden 72XLT. I have also posted these same questions like was suggested, and will post answers here if I get any from there or vica-verca.ĭo you know how far away can you be from the airport to pick up the ATC signals? Why do planes announce how many passengers they have on board? Is there any way I can hook my scanner up to my PC? How come I can't hear the airplanes requesting permission to land, but only announcing that they are landing, then saying "cleared to land" ? I only hear for example "Qantas 404 on finals runway 23" What is the best frequency to tune into to hear light GA (propeller planes) over the city and surrounding area just announcing their position (eg: Tracking south from North Head to Rangitoto)ĭo you know the frequencies for “Mountain Air” or “Air Nelson” or “RNZAF Northern Ops” How come I can only hear the aircraft's talking to the Tower on landing, but not the aircraft's talking to the tower on take off, or the people in the tower on both situations? Thanks again for clearing that up RM friend, but I still have many many more questions □ Once again my apoligies for overwhelming you with questions, Airlines such as United, Lufthanser, KLM, JAL, British Airways and AA operate into NZAA often (we checked on the flight schedules), but are never heard on the scanner, does anyone know why that is? When listening to Qantas pilots that regularly operate into NZ, their accent sounds like giiiiiiidddddddaaaaayyyyy Aweklaaand (Auckland :wink□, but is it suposed to be good day, or is it?ģ. Normally my airport only operates on the primary frequency, but today they were using the secondary frequency as well, any ideas?Ģ. □Ĭheekytrolly and I have been getting into scanning recently and I wanted to ask a couple of questions on behalf of both of us, sorry for the large amount of questions. If you look at the following link at the top of the table, it has the weight of the aircraft and then says + $1.36 per passengers, but I may be wrong. It may be to do with landing fees, but I'm not really sure. Why the heck does ATC need to know how many people are on board? □ In the UK, it is illegal to listen to emergency services and state services transmissions. ![]() I can only think that ATIS has changed frequencies, (which I don't think it does) or you have the wrong frequency.ĥ) I wouldn't have thought so. Could be wrong with bothĤ) If you are on the correct ATIS frequency for an airport, you should be able to hear the repeated message. It could be a way in which ATC identifies the size of an aircraft to ensure proper separation between aircraft or it could be just so authorities know how many 'souls' are onboard. Basically it improves the reliability of communications if each aircraft have their own unique identifier.ģ) Erm, I'm not too sure on this one. ![]() Change to the ground frequency and it should work □Ģ) Their numbers and phonetic letters are simply a way of acknowledging that you have heard a transmission and so ATC know who is talking to them to avoid confusion. You say "Why can I not hear this when I am listening to NZAA tower?" You won't be able to hear the ground chat if you are tuned into the tower frequency. Why can I not here this when I am listening to NZAA (Auckland International) tower? All I am getting at the moment are clearences for take off and landing?Ģ) During transmittions, pilots end there speeches with a set of numbers, like "one zero eight" and sometimes a letter of the ATC alphabet like 'Uniform' and 'Lima' Why do they say both of these things and what do they mean?ģ) I sometimes pilots announcing how many passengers there are on board thier aircraft, why is this?Ĥ) Sometimes I can pick up ATIS and sometimes I can't (This is from the same positon), how is this so as I thought it was a repeated message replayed over and over again.ĥ) Does anyone know of a website where I can find frequncies for Auckland fire, police, ambulance and marine transmitons?ġ) Are you definitely sure you have tuned to the ground frequency and that it is correct. I just have a few questions that I hope anyone with any knowlage of ATC could help me with:ġ) On flight simulator, when you land you are asked to 'turn next taxiway' and then are handed off to the ground control on another frequency. I have recently purchased a "Uniden 72XLT VHF-UHF Scanner" and have been scanning the skys over my city, Auckland, listening to air traffic transmittions. ![]()
