Episode 198 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: During an emergency, controllers have required information they must get from the pilots.  Sometimes that gets done repeatedly.  On this week’s show, we will discuss why that happens and ways to reduce the redundant communications. 

 

Timely Feedback:

  1. 1. Bravo Zulu shares a new take on lost communications.
  2. 2. PATRON Hotel Mike Bravo got his CFI rating!
  3. 3. Whiskey Bravo reminds us we missed the DaVinci reference! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo%27s_aerial_screw
