Welcome to episode 301. One of my favorite aviators because of his passion for flying is Dean Showalter. Dean is an aviation educator, podcaster, and all round nice guy. In a recent episode of his podcast, he discussed “The Most Challenging Approach” and asked the question “What’s the most interesting or out-of-the-ordinary instrument approach you’ve seen recently”.
I thought it would be fun to have Dean on the show and discuss some of his listeners’ responses and discuss the most challenging or interesting approaches we have experienced.
