Looking for GCO's in New York area.
Does anybody know of any airports in the New York City area with a GCO
installed? This is the new(ish) "4 click for ATC, 6 clicks for FSS" gizmo. It seems like something I should expose my students to.

We have a GCO at I19 airport which is right next to DAY class C and Wright-Patterson Class D.

If New York airports don't need GCO because they are close to ATC, then I don't see why I19 has a GCO.

While not exactly what you may be looking for, KFRG's clearance delivery
becomes an open connection to NY Approach after 11 PM. It doesn't require clicks for operation but you need to keep in mind that the controller you will be trying to talk to is talking to other aircraft on different frequencies--just as on a GCO. I would think that would be the tricky part of a GCO as opposed to the clicking. Marco "Roy Smith" wrote in message ...

You don't see why things are done differently in different situations? A GCO isn't needed at a controlled field or a field where contact can be made with the facility providing ATC services.

I think Tipton field (KFME) in Maryland has one. It's a little bit of a
hike, but still well within a tank of gas if you can't find one closer. It's also within the washington ADIZ, so it would be a doubly good learning experience. Andrew Sarangan wrote: "Steven P.
