Summary
Episode 285 Show Notes
Topic of the show: On this week's show, we discuss a recent double go around and share our opinions on what caused the issue, how it could have been handled, and the red carpet rollout for go arounds in the TRIAD. We also discuss unusual and temporary phraseology, altimeter setting confusion, and an urgent return from the practice area with an open airplane door. We had a lot of fun recording this episode. Enjoy!
