Narrative:
Dfw approach control gave us a love field tower frequency when they released us about 15 mi from dfw's runway 31R. We checked as air carrier X abcd to the tower and they said 'air carrier X abcd, you're cleared to land.' they should have noticed we were on the wrong frequency because air carrier X does not fly into dallas love field. At 500 ft AGL, we were told we were on the wrong frequency (the asked us where we were and we told them 3 mi from the runway). They said we were on the wrong frequency, this is love field. We then asked if we were cleared to land, since it was VFR and runway clear. They called dfw tower and said we were cleared to land. Love field also has a runway 31R and 31L. One of the airports should change it to runway 30 or runway 32L and 32R to avoid further mix-ups.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: B737 CREW WAS GIVEN THE DAL TWR FREQ BY THE D10 APCH CTLR. THE ACFT WAS ACTUALLY LNDG AT DFW. THE DAL ATCT LCL CTLR CLRED THE ACFT TO LAND.
Narrative: DFW APCH CTL GAVE US A LOVE FIELD TWR FREQ WHEN THEY RELEASED US ABOUT 15 MI FROM DFW'S RWY 31R. WE CHKED AS ACR X ABCD TO THE TWR AND THEY SAID 'ACR X ABCD, YOU'RE CLRED TO LAND.' THEY SHOULD HAVE NOTICED WE WERE ON THE WRONG FREQ BECAUSE ACR X DOES NOT FLY INTO DALLAS LOVE FIELD. AT 500 FT AGL, WE WERE TOLD WE WERE ON THE WRONG FREQ (THE ASKED US WHERE WE WERE AND WE TOLD THEM 3 MI FROM THE RWY). THEY SAID WE WERE ON THE WRONG FREQ, THIS IS LOVE FIELD. WE THEN ASKED IF WE WERE CLRED TO LAND, SINCE IT WAS VFR AND RWY CLR. THEY CALLED DFW TWR AND SAID WE WERE CLRED TO LAND. LOVE FIELD ALSO HAS A RWY 31R AND 31L. ONE OF THE ARPTS SHOULD CHANGE IT TO RWY 30 OR RWY 32L AND 32R TO AVOID FURTHER MIX-UPS.
