Listener Forum / How Do I Know Which Feed When Tracking My Flight

« Last post by BravoLima on October 01, 2025, 03:20:06 UTC »

If I wanted to listen to comms with a flight I was on how do I know which one they'd be on especially at a big airport like ORD?  Its easier on takeoff because they'll say which freq to contact but on arrival?  For example I was on a TPA-ORD flight and we were approaching from the southeast over Indiana.  So I figured it would be on the Approach SE Feeder but that's not it because they were talking to planes approaching over Lake Michigan from the northeast (on the SE feeder frequency!)  Then I tried the approach secondary feed and I found them, but the times don't match.  At 28 minutes in the audio clip my flight came on and checked in at 7,000ft but at 1428z they were several miles ahead and down to 6700ft.  And who would they be talking to before approach secondary?

Some sort of  one hour (perhaps post) maintenance flight, results in an engine out while in the landing pattern, 2 mile downwind to base...fortunately with a freeway (at rush hour) below, featuring a 20' wide flat grass median between the 8 lanes of traffic.

(the individual runway frequency you couldn't hear the Delta, but on the conjoined one you can.  Pieced this together as best I could.
this controller gets a star for sure)

  ATLANTA — Delta Air Lines said an apparent engine issue stopped a flight from taking off Wednesday evening from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Delta flight 54, an Airbus A330 with 200 passengers, four pilots and nine flight attendants, was headed to Lagos before the flight was halted.

Viewer video shows a Delta plane with what appears to be fire coming from the engine.

Delta Flight 2261 was on the runway at Minneapolis Airport on Wednesday, preparing to fly to Las Vegas when a window opened unexpectedly in the cockpit.   According to a recording from the plane obtained by CNN, the pilot told the air traffic control tower: 'No need for crash fire rescue, we just need to run a checklist. We had a window come open.'

The Boeing 737 was rolling down the runway at a 'low speed.'

Windows in the cockpits of passenger aircrafts can be opened to allow for extra air circulation while the plane is still on the ground.

Pressure in the plane keeps them closed while its in the air.
