Episode 281 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: Why can’t everyone fly over or through Class Bravo airspace?  What is the difference between VFR and IFR flights going to the same point in space?  On this week’s episode, we break down some important differences between VFR and IFR as they relate to Class Bravo airspace and discuss ways you can plan for the inevitable reroute.  We also talk a little more about lost communications and military gear checks.  This is a fun episode you won’t want to miss.
