Episode 256 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: This week, AG and RH get into the details of transitioning from an IFR approach and circling maneuver to VMC while joining traffic at a non-towered airport.  When should you cancel IFR?  Should you remain IFR until reaching the ground?  What other considerations should be made in determining when to cancel but remain safe.  We also discuss straight in approach clearances and why an LPV can’t always be published.  If you wanted to know something about the career paths of AG and RH before aviation, you won’t want to miss this episode!
