Listener Forum / Re: Geneva frequencies missing

« Last post by thowe on October 23, 2021, 04:23:09 AM »

It is done! After a long absence, the first frequencies from Geneva (GVA / LSGG) are back on LiveATC.net:
https://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=LSGG

These are mainly frequencies which can be received well from a distance: Arrival, Departure, Radar Initial Low Level and all Radar Upper Levels. The ATIS is also available.

Local frequencies like Tower, Ground, Apron etc. cannot be covered from a distance and will hopefully follow later - we are preparing with an enthusiast from the Geneva region.

As a good start I would recommend the LSGG Arrival. It's exciting to hear how the airliners are approached and separated to the ILS Localizer. On FlightAware or another online radar service, you can track the position of the airliners and see how they are lined up on the ILS.

Have fun with the LSGG frequencies, which have their own special charm. For example, part of the communication is in French, part in English.

Where did you see the LSGG channels? I know the audio-in addresses. But without this "insider knowledge" I haven't found any tracks yet...?

We are currently still in the process of ramping up several streams. They should be found "officially" in the next hours. We have given the "OK".

For now we can only offer channels like Arrival, Departure, Radar etc. because we receive from relatively far away. I am in contact with another enthusiast so hopefully we will be able to offer the local frequencies like Tower, Ground etc soon.

But: After a long time without coverage, Geneva frequencies are now coming to LibeATC.net. About time, isn't it?

Feedback on the channels is welcome.

Wow, yearly christmas present. First LSGG frequencies online!

Maybe there is still some installation inprogess because archive audio replays are only 12-15min long instead of 30min (audacity in use)

Hopefully there is TWR frequency coming online too in some period.

Thanks!

Every day, over 100,000 planes take off and land all around the world, according to the National Day Calendar. Over 4 billion passengers fly by air in a single year. Air traffic controllers are significantly responsible for the safety of air travel. On the ground at airport runways, these specialists direct air traffic. The movement of planes through airspace is also monitored and directed by air traffic controllers. Pilots are also given landing and takeoff commands by the Air Traffic Controllers.

CHARLOTTE (FOX 46 CHARLOTTE) — Flights at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport were temporarily grounded Monday evening after a massive water main break caused the airport to lose water pressure.

The FAA lifted the temporary stop shortly after 8:00 p.m. Inside, restrooms and restaurants were closed due to the lack of water. Flight crews warned passengers to use the restroom on the planes before deboarding.

“I came in from Orlando and when we landed we were told: A) there’s no water. B) Use the restrooms before you get off. And C) they’re not allowing any more planes to land,” said Sam Lodge.Some flights were delayed, others were canceled. Specific numbers of impacted flights were not immediately available Monday evening.

Pilot/Controller Forum / Cessna. Norcal to KHNL. 16 hrs

« Last post by diskus on October 17, 2021, 10:38:58 AM »

N953AS on FlightAware!
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/id/N953AS-1634444009-1-0-235

One of a pair of Cessna Super Skymasters, flying from northern California to Honolulu. Listening to the ZOA oceanic, they expected strong headwinds and a 15-16 hour flight time at 6000 feet for the crossing. Possiblity to need to to turn around if winds dont subside. Flight speed 120 Kts. Lots of questions from the controllers. Id be curious to hear the reason for such a pair of flights.
