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).

(3) Remote Communications Outlet (RCO) (a) Provides Primary and Essential Air/Ground Communications to Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) facilities for Air Traffic to be able to monitor and respond to emergency calls only on frequencies 121.500 and 243.000 MHz. (b) May be configured as split, selective, or paired channel VHF and/or UHF ...

2019年1月8日 · RCO or Remote Communication Outlets: The remaining RCOs are of two types: 1,223 RCOs that allow pilots to contact flight service and receive transmissions over a common frequency; and 398 RCOs over which pilots can transmit—usually on 122.1 MHz—and monitor flight service’s response on the frequency of a co-located VOR.

REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS OUTLET (RCO)- An unmanned communications facility remotely controlled by air traffic personnel. RCOs serve FSSs. Remote Transmitter/Receivers (RTR) serve terminal ATC facilities. An RCO or RTR may be UHF or VHF and will extend the communication range of the air traffic facility. There are several classes of RCOs and RTRs.
