Episode 134 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: AG and RH give their opinion on how to handle a potential violation of airspace.  How can we conduct ourselves on the radio to avoid escalating a conflict?  What actions do the professionals take in situations where they may have made a mistake?  Thank you to PATRONs IM, CH, and MD for your awesome answers!

 

Timely Feedback:

  1. Juliet Oscar wants us to clarify what “low” airspace means.
  2. PATRON Mike Delta wants to know what we think about checking in on a newly assigned frequency with the same controller.
  3. PATRON Alpha Mike Bravo learned the funny way that remarks need to be brief in your flight plan.

 

Feedback
