Flying out of KFME (Tipton, MD)
Anyone here fly out of Tipton Field in Maryland (KFME) ?
Just curious as to how you get your IFR clearance from there. Can you reach ATC on the radio (which agency, freq?) or do you have to call them (which agency, phone #?) Thanks.

Call by phone!
Tipton is well within the ADIZ, and right under Class B. Flight Services for flight plan. Wait a bit. Potomac Approach for Squawk. Check your map, too - you're not that far from the FRZ.

I believe there is a RCO to talk to BWI.

RCO = Remote Communications Outlet ... Radio Tx/Rx site that because of distance is usually land lined to the responsible facility.

As other people said, there is an RCO of the '5 clicks to call potomac' variety, but honestly, you're better off calling them on a cell phone from the tarmac. Especially during busy VFR days, you have to redial a bunch of times, and the RCO is just slow. aw
