OB189: Inglorious ATC Arguments

Aug 9, 2021

Episode 189 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: When pilots and controllers get into an argument on frequency, nobody wins.  It’s a waste of time and can most likely be solved on the ground using a phone.  AG and RH explain what they consider before engaging in an argument or heated discussion on frequency. 

 

Timely Feedback:

 

  1. 1. PATRON Mike Bravo sent a video of his departure from AirVenture on Saturday.
  2. 2. Mike Kilo lives in the middle finger of the mitten state and has a comment.
  3. 3. PATRON Romeo Mike talked with the controller with atrocious settings.

 

Feedback
