Summary
Episode 190 Show Notes
Topic of the show: Hold for release phraseology is used every single day throughout the NAS at non-towered airports to expedite IFR clearances. How should a pilot handle it when they run into a brick wall trying to get their IFR on the ground so they can load up the FMS/GPS? We discuss our ideas and explain what it means when we use this technique.
Timely Feedback:
- 1. PATRON Juliet Mike had an interesting exchange with ATC on his way home from AirVenture.
- 2. PATRON Mike November shares his thoughts about the show. Thank you!
