Feedback

1. Controller Vlad asked about approach clearances.  FAA-8083-16B (Instrument Procedures Handbook) is a great resource for all your instrument flying questions and approach clearances are covered in Chapter 3 (page 3-22).  Available online in PDF format. 

2. RK asked why United States’ ATIS content is so lengthy.  #birds #holdshort

3. Tango Charlie asks about lightning strikes.

4. JS saved up some great questions; one of them about tracks vs. headings.

5. GWS asked why flight following isn’t always seamless between facilities.
