Episode 261 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: A student pilot is in busy airspace near a Class Bravo surface area without a Class B clearance.  What did the student say to get an immediate solution from ATC?  Find out on this episode.  We also discuss reroutes, listening skills, and the service provided by Angel Flight pilots.  This was a really fun way to start our 6th year doing weekly episodes.  Enjoy!
