Episode 302 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: On this week’s show, AG and RH discuss a complicated approach in mountainous terrain.  Why is the controller leaving the pilot high?  What routing may help the pilot comply with the approach using normal descent maneuvers?  We share our thoughts and some ideas on what this pilot can do next time.  We also discuss vectors to final at the last second, wandering luggage tugs, and more of your aviation questions and feedback.  You don’t want to miss this episode!
