Alternate tower frequency
What is the specific reason for an alternate tower frequency and when would I use it?
Re: Alternate tower frequency
Someone flying in the vicinity, on frequency, with a stuck/open mic would be one reason I would use it.flykp wrote:What is the specific reason for an alternate tower frequency and when would I use it?

Re: Alternate tower frequency
It could be as simple as to much traffic. During high traffic times they may use 2 controllers coordinating traffic from different sides of the airport. Anyway listen to ATIS, and it will likely tell you if the alternate frequency is in use.
