Show Notes
Topic of the show: Why do some center controllers give a landing direction to arrivals up at altitude and some do not? Why is this information critical on some arrivals? AG and RH will explain some of the differences between two large Class Bravo airports and how pilots prepare for descent. We answer your questions and feedback every week on this show. If you haven’t sent in a question, do it now and we may read it on the show!
