Opposing Bases: Air Traffic Talk
Leisure:Aviation
Episode 269 Show Notes
Topic of the show: When you are a newly certified pilot, air traffic controllers can be intimidating and the system can make new private pilots apprehensive about using the services available to them. In this week’s episode, we dive deep into a pilot’s first real interaction with ATC after getting a rating; what went wrong and how can they improve or better understand what’s happening in the background to make their next experience better? We give our opinions on the interaction and explain all the details that may have led to the exchange. This episode is packed with aviation gold and you don’t want to miss it!
Timely Feedback:
