Opposing Bases: Air Traffic Talk

Episode 343 Show Notes

Topic of the show: Lessons from Flight Following “Light” On this week’s show, RH and AG discuss what can be learned from dissecting the procedures used in flight following light operations. Could this procedure be used across the NAS to improve safety? What can be done while we wait? We also discuss special ops helicopters, our experience at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024, and more aviation questions. This was a really fun episode and you don’t want to miss it!
