Summary

Episode 211 Show Notes

Topic of the show: AG and RH discuss what could cause a controller to deny a pilot’s request to cancel VFR flight following. Oftentimes pilot’s think since they are clear of Class B, C, or D airspace, they are safe to fly wherever they want. On this week’s show, we will discuss why that is not always true.

Timely Feedback:

1. Patron CW shares an audio exchange with ATC regarding the best headset bag available.
2. Patron Mike Kilo sent in feedback about joining an approach awaiting a clearance. Check out the video here: https://youtu.be/5BkWJ0S0mNM

Patron Juliet Charlie Charlie sent an audio question about dealing with a saturated controller.
Patron India Mike has a tragic reminder for pilots flying below cloud decks in poor visibility at night.
Patron Echo Charlie sent an audio question about transponders.
