Opposing Bases: Air Traffic Talk

Episode 355 Show Notes

Topic of the show: On this week’s show, AG and RH discuss a recent flight in IMC where the pilot struggled and the controller kept his cool and offered the perfect mix of instruction and help which resulted in a safe landing. Great job! We also discuss invoking your OB Listener Card on a checkride, practice area frequencies, and more of your aviation questions and feedback.
