Opposing Bases: Air Traffic Talk
Leisure:Aviation
Episode 288 Show Notes
Topic of the show: On this week’s show, we discuss general aviation operations at busy Class Bravo airports. Flying to a big airport can be intimidating so we offer some tips for the general aviation pilot. How can you safely taxi behind a heavy jet and keep ATC happy? What should you be prepared for when arriving or departing a busy, Class Bravo airport in your general aviation aircraft? Our special guest, Bravo Kilo, is a friendly voice in a busy tower and shares his experience so your next flight is both fun and safe. We also discuss our schedules, frequency planning, and remote clearance etiquette. This episode is packed and you don’t want to miss it!
