Listener Forum / CZYZ Toronto Centre - East Low

« Last post by autodude145 on Today at 01:40:07 AM »

Looking through many of the airports within the Toronto region I have been able to find a way to listen to 6 of the 7 controller specialties within the ACC, however the only one missing is East Low. If I recall it used to be up a year or so ago but it would be great if we could get 127.00 (Simcoe) or 124.92 (East Radar) somehow. Thanks!

Listener Forum / Re: CYYZ Arrival - Feed Seems OK but No Sound

« Last post by autodude145 on Today at 01:33:27 AM »

The last year or so with the reduction of traffic, most of the time there has only been 1 controller for CYYZ ARR/DEP. When there is only one controller, the primary frequency is 128.00 (Departure). Depending on how the controller has it setup, they may cross-couple both frequencies, but most of the time will only open up 132.80 (Arrival) when they need a second controller.

'Man told American Airlines about a scary moment on a plane.."

Decided to pull the audio. Sounds like a pretty standard rto and taxi back.

I am not in the LSGG region but feeder at another airport in Switzerland. If I can support someone in setting up a LiveATC feed, I will be happy to do so. I have quite a lot of experience by now.

Requirements:
- Acceptable reception from ATC and aircraft (ideally also on the ground).
- Raspberry Pi 3 or 4
- Internet connection (cable or wifi)
- SDR dongle(s) (e.g. with a SDRPlay RSP1A you can cover several frequencies at the same time in a range of 7 MHz)

Aviation Accidents/Incidents / TORNADO THREAT HALTS DEPARTURES AT O'HARE, MIDWAY

This was from the nasty weather yesterday in/around Chicago.
if you have some time on your hands, and want to peruse the archives of O'Hare/Midway
I bet you'll hear some interesting chatter..

Atornado spotted west of the Chicago area and thunderstorms scattered across parts of the nation caused delays of up to an hour Tuesday afternoon and evening at O'Hare International and Midway Airports.

The weather-related slowdown started at mid-afternoon and led to a halt on departures at both airports for about 30 minutes due to a tornado warning that forced a partial evacuation of the Chicago Center in Aurora, a Federal Aviation Administration facility that routes planes over the Midwest.

An FAA spokesman said non-essential personnel, including some air-traffic controllers, were sent to the basement of Chicago Center between 4:30 and 5 p.m. after a tornado was sighted at Hinckley, near DeKalb. The ground stop on airline departures from Chicago was lifted after the tornado warning for the Aurora area was downgraded to a tornado watch.

Reports that a plane traveling over New Jersey was down near Long Beach Island late Thursday morning are unfounded, according to local news outlets.
Ocean County Sheriff's Office officials confirmed to WPVI-TV that reports that a plane, possibly a small glider, had gone down in the area around 11:30 a.m. near Beach Haven's East 26th Street beach were unfounded. An earlier report said a plane carrying up to three people had gone down approximately 1 mile into the Atlantic Ocean.

The scare prompted responses from state and local law enforcement and the U.S. Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard's Mid-Atlantic district tweeted just before 12:30 p.m. that it had "received a report of a plane crash" and had diverted a helicopter and crews.

A spokesperson for the Long Beach Township Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for information. A spokesperson for the Ocean County Sheriff's Office would not comment.
