Episode 271Show Notes
Topic of the show: What type of decision making and planning is involved when a controller takes decisive action to run a squeeze play? What is a squeeze play? Why is the anatomy of a squeeze play important when evaluating a given traffic scenario? This week’s show answers all those questions and dives deep into the parts of air traffic you don’t hear on the news. As always, we keep things general and hope our listeners learn something to be better users of the NAS.
