What is a GCO frequency?
The system uses the airport’s listed frequency ( 121.725 or 135.075 ). The system is activated with four “key clicks” on the VHF radio to contact the appropriate ATC facility or six “key strokes” to contact the FSS. The GCO system is intended to be used only on the ground.Click to see full answer. Similarly,…

Similarly, it is asked, how do you use GCO frequency?If you have a radio, you have a phone (in a manner of speaking) that can be used at airports that have installed ground communications outlets or GCO’s. The GCO gives a pilot on the ground at an uncontrolled airport a means to communicate with the IFR Air Traffic Control facility and/or the Flight Service Station.Beside above, when should a pilot call clearance delivery? Participating pilots call clearance delivery or ground control not more than 10 minutes before proposed taxi time. IFR clearance (or delay information, if clearance cannot be obtained) is issued at the time of this initial call-up. Then, what is an RCO frequency? Remote Communications Outlets (RCO) are remote aviation band radio transceivers, established to extend the communication capabilities of Flight Information Centres (FIC) and Flight Service Stations (FSS). Pilots can find RCO frequencies in charts or publications such as the chart Supplement or Canada Flight Supplement.What is GCO?Ground communication outlet. A GCO instead connects with the aircraft/pilot via a radio transmitter/receiver, but with the ground facility via a telephone connection. Special electronic components in the GCO connect the radio communications from the aircraft to the telephone communications from the facility.
