Summary
Episode 304 Show Notes
Topic of the show: On this week's show, AG and RH get into the details of a rare type of approach clearance. What would we do as pilots if we received this clearance? How would we issue the clearance as controllers? And is there a regulation to establish an argument that it's not only safe, but legal? We also discuss pilot punishments, PIREP holds, and more of your aviation questions and feedback. This is a packed episode and you don't want to miss it!
