Tripping Down Lake Shore Drive, September 9, 2018

The SimpleFlight crew welcomes back Air Traffic Controller, Eddie Trujillo.  Eddie has been quite busy at C90 (Chicago Approach), including his recent checkout on North Satellite.  That means Eddie is now working all sectors around O'Hare, and its quite a challenge. As we continue to collect survey responses (click the link above to add your voice), it was interesting to see multiple requests on how to fly VFR in a busy area like Chicago, including the beautiful Lake Shore Run.  The timing couldn't have been better, as Eddie tackled that with great insight for how best to partner with ATC to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.  Eddie also talked about how his dream of being a pilot took him down a path in which he discovered his true passion... Air Traffic Control. But the main message in this episode is the Pilot / Controller partnership.  We are all focused on the same goal, a safe flight.  And together, we make it happen. ​​​                            =============== ​We hope you enjoy listening as much as we love talking to others who share our passion for aviation.  Please like us on social media, share and subscribe to the Podcast via iTunes or your favorite broadcast source, and rate, review, and let us know what you think! ​ ​​​​BLUE SKIES and TAILWINDS!!!
