Opposing Bases: Air Traffic Talk

Episode 242 Show Notes   Topic of the show: A Cirrus Vision Jet pilot found a really creative, funny, and informative way to help controllers understand the SF50’s performance capabilities.  On this week’s show, we will discuss some common misconceptions about jets versus turbo prop aircraft, performance considerations, and important information pilots can share with ATC so everyone is on the same page.    Timely Feedback: 1. PATRON WTF shares a fun regulation fact about who can fly the plane. 2. A Center Controller shares information about what information is displayed on their fancy screen.   Feedback SD wants to know our thoughts on how a pilot should respond when ATC asks them to do an unusual maneuver to land quickly. PATRON GK shares audio about a glider tow operation. PATRON AW has a question about pilot discretion descents. LIH is ready to move into a flying career!   Have a great week and thanks for listening!  Visit our website at OpposingBases.com You can support our show using Patreon or visit
