OB276: Don't You Over Me, Over

Apr 17, 2023

Episode 276 Show Notes (revised)

 

Topic of the show: On this week’s show, RH and AG describe ways pilots can utilize the tools in their airplane to set up and fly a visual approach.  Can you follow the ILS glideslope or RNAV glideslope while you fly the visual approach?  Where is the fix ATC just cleared me to and why are they using it?  Find out some more tricks of the trade to be the best pilot you can!  We also discuss the use of “over” in ATC communication, takeoff clearance checklist items, and much, much more!  You don’t want to miss this episode!

 

Timely Feedback:
