Episode 293 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: RH took a solo trip in the mighty Skyhawk from TRIAD to NYC to fly the Hudson Skyline route with Newark and LaGuardia Tower controllers!  Special thanks to N90, EWR, LGA, and all the radar controllers along the way.  Are you considering a trip to NYC to fly up the Hudson?  We try to explain the planning and navigation to make the trip fun and safe!  We also discuss RNAV vs. ILS approach clearances and training in the radar room.  This was a really fun episode and you won’t want to miss it!

 

Timely Feedback:

1. Patron Sierra Mike sent some feedback about military flight training.

2. Patron Mike Delta shared some thoughts on reacting to stress and relying on training.

 

Feedback
