Potomac Consolidated Terminal Radar Approach Control
From The RadioReference Wiki
- 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.
- Items in Italics come from the 11/8 Military Monitoring blog, and need validating
