Not that I'm aware (though I'm not an expert). It is certainly used for one of the many air traffic control units you can encounter at larger airports (e.g "Contact departure on 123.45"). My understanding is that the word 'take-off' over the radio is (or at least should be) treated like a loaded gun, you only say it when you mean it. Departure is used in place of take-off where appropriate (e.g. "Speedbird 101, holding short of runway 13, ready for departure.") |
