Episode 292 Show Notes
Topic of the show: On this week’s show, we try to dispel some myths about Class Charlie airspace. How can pilots position themselves to remain safely separated from airplanes operating in and out of busier Class C airports? Why is flight following so important in these areas? We also discuss a tower controller’s rude behavior during otherwise normal operations, special VFR, and more interesting aviation questions. This episode is packed with aviation gold nuggets and you don’t want to miss it!
