Which frequency is used to monitor manned aircraft and ATC communications near MOT?

• A. CT-120.5
• B. CT-118.2
• C. CT-119.1
• D. CT-117.0

Answer: (B)

Listening to the VHF airband is how you monitor both manned aircraft and ATC. Frequencies in this band are used for voice communications between pilots and controllers, which is essential for situational awareness when operating near controlled airspace like MOT. The 118.2 MHz channel sits squarely in that standard ATC voice-band and is a common, reliable frequency for hearing ongoing controller instructions and pilot exchanges. Other options in the list may be used for different purposes (navigation aids, weather/data channels, or non-ATC services) and wouldn’t reliably provide the same direct access to air-to-ground communications.
