I was alert for the fact that they had a new second tower frequency. The ATIS said "frequency blah blah is now in use" so I call them on that frequency and they chastize me -- the ATIS said "not in use". Raar!! -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/ |

I fly out of KROC, and what you experienced makes some sense based on my
experience. I got a tour of the tower and approach/departure control with my instructor last summer. Clearance/Delivery, Ground and Tower are all located in the tower cab, close to each other (there isn't room for them to be any other way. App/Dep is on a lower floor connected by a very sophisticated tube through which they drop the strips. In this case, they have a scope in the tower cab, but I think the normal display is set to a shorter range than the scopes in the app/dep area. I'll admit I didn't pay close attention to this, and it was a while ago, but that was my recollection. It is probably adjustable in any event. At slow times, it is common for one controller to act as two or more of Tower, Ground, and Clearance/Delivery, but they seem to have different preferences as to combining frequencies. Some continue to operate on all the normal frequencies, some ask that you stay on one frequency, usually the tower frequency, (mostly at arrival), I'll admit I've never run into an all freq's combined on the atis. Brad "Arden Prinz" wrote in message . com... I was approaching class C airspace for landing at the primary airport for which the class C airspace is designated and I listened to the ATIS. The ATIS said "all frequencies are combined on TowerFrequency". So I tuned to TowerFrequency and made my radio call to approach. The response that I got was that I needed to call approach on the approach frequency. So, I guess that begs the question ... when the ATIS says "all frequencies are combined", which frequencies are included in "all frequencies"? "Arden Prinz" wrote in message om...
