Heads up: the last LiveATC.net listing we could check (archived Aug 14, 2025) shows no public feed for EDDF, because LiveATC says rebroadcasting ATC from this country is not allowed. The player may stay silent. For live practice, try KJFK or KSFO.

Tip: ATC has long quiet stretches between transmissions — that's normal, not a stream issue. Audio is streamed live from LiveATC.net through Rotate's proxy; we never record or store it.
Published frequencies, not just what one feed monitors.
The standard read-backs for taxi, takeoff, approach and landing — the calls that trip people up on the radio and on checkride day. Listen here, then drill them out loud.

Radio cockpit kit
Pair the live stream with the cockpit habits that make radio work calmer: hear the clearance, copy it cleanly, then drill the exact readback before your next lesson.

Frankfurt Main Tower is on 119.905, 118.780, 124.855 (departures via Rwy 18). Which one depends on the runway or side of the airport in use, so listen to the ATIS first. Source: Germany AIP (DFS) AD 2 EDDF, effective Oct 1, 2026.
Ground Control: 121.805, 121.655 (apron). Clearance Delivery: 122.035. Pilots call Clearance first for their clearance and squawk code, then Ground to taxi.
EDDF ATIS broadcasts on 118.030 (arrival), 118.730 (departure). It is a recorded loop with wind, visibility, altimeter setting and runways in use, identified by a phonetic letter that pilots report on first contact ("with information Bravo").
Probably not online. The last LiveATC.net listing we could check shows no public feed for EDDF; in the UK, Germany, Spain and Italy LiveATC says rebroadcasting ATC is not allowed. Use the US and Canadian airports on this site to practice, with the EDDF frequencies above as reference.
