Episode 377 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show:  On this week’s show, RH and AG break down the differences and possible traps in picking up your IFR clearance in the air vs. getting it on the ground.  What prevents a controller from issuing it immediately?  Why does the weather matter?  What can a pilot do to prepare for either method to get the best service?  We also discuss our severe reading challenges, magical phraseology the attorneys will love, and more of your awesome feedback!  This episode is packed with information you can’t find anywhere else and you don’t’ want to miss it!
