Topic of the show: On this week’s show, we discuss the rarely used “through clearance” and run a thorough cost benefit analysis of using this technique. What about search and rescue? What other options exist to mitigate the risks of losing communication with ATC on the ground? We also discuss the perilous bike path near jet blast experienced by a listener, the dimensions of mountain airspace, and more of your awesome aviation questions and feedback. You don’t want to miss this week’s episode.
