"Brad Z" wrote in message news:Pdr7c.55839$_w.891264@attbi_s53... It may not be a clearance delivery position. Here at FCI, the RCO puts us in contact with a Potomac Tracon controller, not the class C Richmond CD controller located 11 miles away. Its the same guy who answers our calls on the departure frequency is the same guy answering the RCO for getting clearances. The Class C Richmond clearance delivery controller located 11 miles away? Wasn't Richmond approach one of the facilities combined to create Potomac approach? The clearance delivery position at RIC is a tower position, not a TRACON position. Although many use RCO, Remote Communications Outlet, to refer to any remote FAA radio, it's actually a tool of FSS. Terminal ATC facilities use RTRs, Remote Transmitter/Receivers, and Centers use RCAGs, Remote Communications Air/Ground facilities.
