Episode 219 Show Notes
Topic of the show: AG and RH discuss the finer points of departing a non-towered airport with an IFR clearance. Why can't you just depart in VMC and skip the release? What could this pilot have done differently to avoid upsetting the controllers and possibly violating a regulation? We will share our thoughts and get to many more aviation questions.
