Feedback
1. Controller Vlad asked about approach clearances. FAA-8083-16B (Instrument Procedures Handbook) is a great resource for all your instrument flying questions and approach clearances are covered in Chapter 3 (page 3-22). Available online in PDF format.
2. RK asked why United States’ ATIS content is so lengthy. #birds #holdshort
3. Tango Charlie asks about lightning strikes.
4. JS saved up some great questions; one of them about tracks vs. headings.
5. GWS asked why flight following isn’t always seamless between facilities.
