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. Field elevation 1,026 ft.
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.

Atlanta has a separate tower frequency for each of its five runways.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Intl Tower is on 119.1 (Rwy 8L/26R), 125.325 (Rwy 8R/26L), 123.85 (Rwy 9L/27R), 119.3 (Rwy 9R/27L), 119.5 (Rwy 10/28). Which one depends on the runway or side of the airport in use, so listen to the ATIS first. Source: FAA Chart Supplement data via AirNav, effective Oct 1, 2026.
Ground Control: 121.9 (Rwys 8L/26R, 8R/26L), 121.75 (Rwys 9L/27R, 9R/27L), 121.65 (Rwy 10/28). Clearance Delivery: 118.1. Pilots call Clearance first for their clearance and squawk code, then Ground to taxi.
KATL ATIS broadcasts on 119.65 (arrival), 125.55 (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").
Yes. Press play on this page to hear the KATL feeds streamed from LiveATC.net volunteer receivers, free and without an account. A quiet stream usually means nobody is talking on that frequency at the moment, not a broken feed.
