Episode 217 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: What if the controller denies your request for a weather related course deviation?  How can the pilot stay safe but comply with air traffic instructions?  We will offer our tips on how to negotiate and communicate when you’re flying towards imminent danger!  We also discuss snow and ice, preparation for a shift, and super low LPV minimums.  You don’t want to miss this episode!
