Episode 346 Show Notes 

 

Topic of the show: On this week’s show, AG and RH discuss ADS-C and the information available to non-US controllers, busy tracon controller communication issues, and a mountain of Patron feedback.  We also share our views and opinions about a recent interaction between ATC and a pilot that should serve as a reminder we are all human, mistakes happen, and it’s our job to work through it professionally and with respect for the person on the other side of the microphone. 

 

Feedback
