Quick heads up before we get into today's episode, we want to let you know about something new.

We finally did it. Opposing Bases has migrated to Supercast.

That means early access to episodes, bonus audio, deep dives, and our full archive are delivered

right into your podcast app. We've been on Patreon for years. It was never built for shows

like ours. Supercast is. So if you've ever thought about supporting the show, now's the time. It's smoother, cleaner, and you'll actually hear us when the new stuff drops. Head to OpposingBases.supercast.com, pick a tier, and you're in. And if you're already a patron, check your inbox. We've got an offer waiting for you. All right, let's start the show. You have to make the foundation acceptable.

You have to make it separated before you start introducing visual to cut corners and, you know, increase efficiency.

I don't think that you can make procedures that just require visual.

This procedure will not work without visual separation.

That cannot be a thing.

Ready.

Welcome to Opposing Bases, Air Traffic Talk, an aviation podcast by two air traffic controllers

and rated pilots who love to talk about

flying, controlling, and everything in between. The show is for entertainment purposes only and should

not be used as a substitute for your instructor, your supervisor, the FAA, the NTSB, or your cat.

The show will give you a better understanding of how things work in the national airspace system

and maybe even make you laugh along the way.

Please welcome retired Army pilot Alpha Golf and first officer at Penguin Airlines Romeo Hotel.

It's Wednesday, August 6, 2025, episode 397 on today's show.

We'll share some thoughts on visual separation.

Rant about questionable controllers and answer more of your aviation questions.

What's up, Bajie?

Hello, hello, everyone.
