Pilots can find RCO frequencies in charts or publications such as the Chart Supplement or Canada Flight Supplement. [1] The RCO is used to make a radio call to the outlet as if the pilot were making the call directly to the FSS or FIC. The outlet will relay the call (and the briefer's response) automatically.

Pilots are advised to check their sectional charts and/or Chart Supplement (formerly Airport/Facilities Directory) to determine the appropriate frequency for CTAF prior to operating at any given airport.
The Airport/Facility Directory also provides a means for the FAA to communicate, in text form, updates to visual navigation charts between their revision dates — VFR Sectional and Terminal Area Charts are generally revised every six months. Volumes are side-bound at 5 + 3 ⁄ 8 by 8 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches (140 mm × 210 mm), and colored a ...
White space around the chart is filled with map information and the legend, scales, and tables of airport and airspace information. Terrain is color-coded for its elevation and major roads, cities, and bodies of water are shown for visual reference, as well as other identifiable structures (e.g., stadiums and water towers ).
The R programming language can be used for creating Wikipedia graphs. The Google Chart API allows a variety of graphs to be created. Livegap Charts creates line, bar, spider, polar-area and pie charts, and can export them as images without needing to download any tools. Veusz is a free scientific graphing tool that can produce 2D and 3D plots ...
