  • The Potomac Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) controls approaches and departures in the airspace surrounding BWI, Andrews, Dulles, Reagan, Richmond and Martin State Airports
  • Here is the Official FAA website with VHF frequencies and graphics depicting sectors within the airspace controlled by the Potomac Consolidated TRACON (PCT).
  • Here is an unofficial website with details about the TRACON, including airspace levels and classes
  • All frequencies are in the AM mode. These are often used in parallel with one or more civil VHF aircraft frequencies, particularly during peak travel periods.
  • Flights leaving Martin State sometimes use Baltimore Washington International's frequencies
  • Flights leaving Andrews often check in on Reagan National's frequencies
  • Names in capitals are navigational fix names. These are often referred to on the air.
