This is opposing bases, a podcast about aviation from both sides of the mic. I'm a professional

pilot. And I'm an air traffic controller. Between the two of us, we've spent years inside the

system talking to each other on the frequency and sometimes misunderstanding each other.

Every episode, we take real-world scenarios and break down what's actually happening.

YATC says what they say, what pilots are thinking in the

moment, and how small decisions can have big consequences. We're not teaching from a textbook.

We're talking about how things actually work in the real world, the gray areas, the pressure,

and the human side of the system. And we're using decades of experience to answer real questions

from listeners.

If you've ever been confused on the radio, unsure what a controller meant, or just want to understand the system better.

This show will make you more informed, more confident, participant in the national airspace system.

No ads, no fluff.

Just honest aviation conversation.

Opposing bases. Real pilots, real controllers, real talk.
