KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor ATC simulator

Work Phoenix Tower 118.7 and Ground 119.75 at Phoenix Sky Harbor (KPHX), Phoenix, Arizona. The layout is digitized from the FAA airport diagram; airline traffic taxis, pushes, takes off and lands while AI pilots read back your clearances by voice.

Layout notes

Phoenix Sky Harbor (KPHX), Class B airline hub, layout from the FAA airport diagram. Three parallel runways at 078/258 true: north 8/26, center 7L/25R, south 7R/25L (close parallels). East flow lands 8 and 7R, departs 8 and 7L; west flow lands 26 and 25L, departs 26 and 25R. Taxiway A runs north of 8/26 (connectors A1 west … A12 east) and taxiway B south of it (B1 … B14); A#/B# at the same spot cross runway 8/26. C runs along the north side of the terminals, linked to B by C1–C11. D runs along the south side of the terminals; cross-field taxiways R (east), S (between Terminals 3 and 4) and T (west) join C and D. E1–E13 lead from D to runway 7L/25R; F1–F10 continue across to taxiway F between the parallels. G1–G8 lead from F to runway 7R/25L; H1–H7 continue across to taxiway H on the south side. Arrivals on 7R/25L must cross 7L/25R (E#/F#) to reach the terminals. Ground North 119.75 / South 132.55, Tower 118.7 (8/26) / 120.9 (south complex), clearance delivery 118.1. Almost all airline and cargo IFR jets.

Parking and ramps

21 parking positions across 5 ramps: Terminal 4 North, Terminal 4 South, Terminal 3, West Cargo, South Cargo.

Frequencies in the simulator

What you practice here

• Taxi clearances with routes and hold-short instructions, and runway crossings.
• Pushback approvals, IFR clearances (PDC) and departure sequencing.
• Line up and wait, takeoff and landing clearances, and go-arounds.
• Readback correction: pilots sometimes get it wrong, and you have to catch it.
