Summary

Episode 294 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: When a general aviation propeller driven aircraft is assigned an arrival (STAR) into a giant Class Bravo airport, what should the pilot know ahead of time to prepare for the procedure?  Why does ATC assign them only to take an aircraft off of them later?  What is helpful for the terminal controller when establishing a sequence with faster jet traffic?  AG and RH break down the minutia involved in a STAR into a busy Class Bravo airport and answer a listener's questions regarding execution of the procedure.  We also discuss headset issues, professionalism on frequency, and more of your awesome aviation questions and feedback.  This was a fun episode and you don't want to miss it!
