Summary
Episode 390 Show Notes
Topic of the show: On this week’s show, RH and AG discuss audio feedback from the Badger Pilot on best practices for conducting practice approaches if the tower is no longer participating in radar like services. We also discuss parallel ILS/RNAV approaches, tons of checkride announcements, and more of your amazing aviation feedback/questions.
Feedback
1. Patron EM asks about visual separation on parallel RNAV approaches.
2. Patron SG shared some great audio of his co-pilot’s radio skills.
Mentioned on the show: “For the 6th consecutive year, PilotEdge is hosting SimVenture- a virtual Oshkosh fly-in experience. Using a computer flight simulator, join hundreds of other pilots online and fly the iconic Fisk VFR arrival into Oshkosh a week ahead of the real AirVenture in order to prepare for your actual flight, or just experience the thrill of it for fun. And the best part? The voices you’ll hear on the radio aren’t just any controllers - they’re the real Oshkosh air traffic controllers meaning you’ll be getting as close to the real thing as possible, all from the comfort of your home cockpit.
SimVenture is happening July 11-13th on the PilotEdge flight simulator network. The event is free for new users. Visit pilotedge.net/simventure to learn more.”
