OB367: Flying Through Failures

Opposing Bases: Air Traffic Talk

Episode 367 Show Notes

Topic of the show: Overcoming “Failures” on Checkrides By Patron DF On this week’s show, RH and AG discuss getting through mistakes on checkrides and what we can learn from DF’s experiences. How do you regroup after a mistake? Can ATC help? Is the examiner looking for your response to the mistake to determine if you pass or fail? We discuss our own checkride experiences so you can learn from our mistakes. We also review over water flight planning tools, fun interactions with ATC, and more of your aviation questions and feedback. This episode is packed and you don’t want to skip it.
