Episode 357 Show Notes
Topic of the show: Not Getting Flight Following and Why It’s Bad. On this week’s show, AG and RH discuss how a flight following request would have prevented a near midair collision at a busy Class C airport. Why is remaining outside the Charlie legal but not necessarily safe? Can pilots get better service by simply calling ATC? This incident got a lot of attention and we want to reiterate the controller did a great job! We had a lot of fun recording this episode and you don’t want to miss it!
