Opposing Bases: Air Traffic Talk

Episode 313 Show Notes   Topic of the show:  On this week’s show, AG and RH discuss why some controllers cannot issue radar vectors. Why are they suggesting headings?  What should the pilot do in order to safely comply with the instructions?  We also discuss IFR shortcuts, an airport in desperate need of metering, and more aviation questions and feedback.   Timely Feedback: 1.  We set the record straight on altitude selection during an IFR departure near terrain. 2. Patron AMM wants to know when we are selling the Secret ATC Decoder Ring in our online store. https://i.imgur.com/HpyqX1Z.jpeg,   Feedback 1. SGAC Patron AM has a question about an unusual shortcut and interaction with ATC. 2. Patron MS shares a public service announcement to prevent pilot blindness. 3. Patron Delta Papa has a question about the new Class Charlie that could almost pass for Class B. 4. Patron MTB shares some kind words for air traffic controllers in a very busy and stressful facility.   Have a great week and thanks for li
