Opposing Bases: Air Traffic Talk

Episode 255 Show Notes   Topic of the show: On this week’s show we discuss double IFR flight plans, handling in flight malfunctions expeditiously but safely, and more of your awesome aviation questions and feedback.  Why was the controller trying to convince an inbound aircraft to a towered airport to cancel IFR?  What happened to their outbound flight plan?  And how can the pilot navigate the awkward moment on the downwind?  This was another ad free, 100% Patron supported episode with all content courtesy of show Patrons!  Thank you!   Timely Feedback: 1. Patron WTF shared some insight into the world of ATC before radar was so common.   Feedback Patron AJS shared an inflight gear malfunction story. Great job! Patron JW asked what it would be like if our runway numbers changed. Patron BS shares a positive flight following story in busy Big Apple Bravo airspace. Patron JRP asked why transponders can’t just transmit the aircraft callsign.   Have a great week and thanks for listening!  Visit our website at Opp
