Heads up: the last LiveATC.net listing we could check (archived Sep 17, 2025) shows no public feed for EGCC, 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.

Manchester Tower is on 118.630, 119.405 (as directed). Which one depends on the runway or side of the airport in use, so listen to the ATIS first. Source: UK AIP (NATS) AD 2.18 EGCC, effective Oct 1, 2026.
Ground Control: 121.855. Clearance Delivery: 121.705 (0600-2200, else Ground). Pilots call Clearance first for their clearance and squawk code, then Ground to taxi.
EGCC ATIS broadcasts on 128.180 (arrival), 121.980 (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 EGCC; 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 EGCC frequencies above as reference.
