So new to aircraft monitoring. Not new to radios though..been a ham operator for quite a bit of years now. But recently got back into going to airshows so picked up a Uniden Bearcat 125AT to listen to airshow traffic.
Next month I'll be flying to Nashville for a work trip and was going to take my scanner with me to listen to the traffic. Questions is...I'm used to small airport...what frequencies should I listen to. More so, what is the order of operations for planes. Who do they contact first? I'm looking to build a bank of frequencies that will let me monitor from the gate, taxi, takeoff, in the air, approach, land, taxi.
I've already programmed the KPHL ones...but not sure which order to listen them to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
