Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
I have had an airband scanner for quite some time but does anyone know where I can find ALL the frequencies for London Centre or Swanwick as it is known?
Cheers

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
You can get all of the frequencies from the UK AIP at www.ais.org.uk .
If you go to the En Route section and have a look at the routes. The frequencies will be shown by the relevant sections of said routes
Hope this helps

As you may have gathered ATCO's are notoriously unfriendly to spotters or enthusiasts in general. My advice is to search for your info on the myriad of enthusiast sites on the net. In my experience they know as much as most operational guys and treat you like a human being.

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
What exactly is you guys' problem?
I am only 15 and want to know what the frequencies of London Control are and you give me a torrent of abuse.
Do NOT start saying I should not be on here at 15 - the internet allows anyone of any age to communicate so there is no reason for me not to.
It's not very friendly at all and puts a bad light on how good your job can be.
Not very nice for me to post a question and get a whole load of abuse from you lot!
It may not be my place to say but learn some manners and if you have nothing better to do than slag me off for such a little question then you obviously have something wrong and I wish you to explain it.
Carbide finger,
It is NOT illegal to listen to ATC frequencies perhaps you should research the laws which state it is only illegal to pass on information heard AND
Silenthandover,
I can see you don't have kids yourself and if you do I would hate to think what they are like when you want to put ASBOs on them.
I have never been in trouble with the law and do not plan to be.
Carbide finger: go ahead with a pathetic acusation against a 15 year old and see where it gets you and how pathetic you will look.
No one likes a grass do they
It is really sad that you guys cannot be friendly when there is absoulutely no reason not to be!
On a positive note,
Thank you to the FRIENDLY people:
snbower - cheers have got the frequencies
prospero - glad that you are a friendly controller that doesn't have his head up his arse.
Honey Monster - Cheers will be going to that site later.

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
LGW15,
As this particular thread has been coverered before on Pprune may I say again that unless You hold the appropriate license it IS illegal to listen to the Airband as it is the police..(In the UK that is!) This Is coverered by the Wireless Telegraphy Act so I would suggest You searce that document and read..
You are allowed to listen to things like the BBC, IBA, Commercial Radio Stations, Radio Amateurs, and oddly enough Time Signal Station on HF.
I agree that there was no need to be typed to like the messages above..
So with that.. Happy (And Careful!) listening !!

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
I have removed the unhelpful and abusive posts .. and that includes your last one LGW15. Very ironic you tell people on here to have manners and then call them all manner of names and tell them to grow up 
Thanks to the new software, the posts are always available for review so if anyone has any complaints .... fire away
PS Listening to Air Comms frequencies in the UK is illegal to the general public. Enforcement is another matter of course

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
All I said was "you don't like him much!" in response to another post.
I bet units are queuing up to have LGW15 posted to him if he makes it!!
(Fiver says this gets deleted within 5 minutes!!!!

Should there be any doubt read this from the Ofcom site http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/archi...info/ra169.htm
I hear someone streaming live UK ATC on the internet was 'dealt with' before Christmas.

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
Have spent years and years listening to ATC on the airband. For my enjoyment only. Never thought about passing on info to a third party.
I hold an radio amateurs license, know all the rules about listening and transmitting and in my book, if done carefully (and without telling Tom, Dick, Harry et al down the road what you do), shouldn't be a problem..
Funnily enough, there are many, many publications aimed at the airband listener/scanner enthusiast written by qualified ATC people readily available from High St newsagents/good bookshops.
It can't be that illegal if you are able to purchase a book with all the in's and out's about ATC - they all carry a forward message along the lines of "Watch what you do when listening - and be descrete"
Can't offer much more than.

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
I wanted to get an radio amateurs license and I believe this is free for under 16s or 18s?
Anyone got a link to the ofcom page with that?
I take it that once I get the license I can listen to ATC?
Cheers

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
Do I need to have that just to receive ATC on airband scanner?
I have a Maycom AR-108 so is this model capable of sending messages?

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
Nah, mate!
Your radio is an airband receiver! Receives transmissions only. NOT able to transmit - you'd need a transmitter for that (and your mostly definetly NOT allowed to transmit on the ATC freqs
)
Airband listening is license free (think about it, your Maycom was bought over a counter or mail order etc) although as someone mentioned earlier; a radio amateur license lets you transmit(or listen) on the various amateur bands.
Besides, you don't want to send messages on an airband frequency anyway!

Re: Swanwick ATC frequencies (LACC)
It is illegal to listen to UK airband, unless you're a proplerly licenced aeronautical radio station (ATC unit, aircraft etc.).
It is technically possible listen to the airband using such a receiver, but nonetheless it is illegal.
PPRuNe Radar, is it possible for a topic explaining this to be a sticky? We get this question every few months.
