Episode 337 Show Notes

Topic of the show: On this week’s episode, AG and RH try to figure out why a tower controller was issuing confusing VOR radial intercepts after takeoff.

We also discuss a new term for opposite direction traffic, tricky Class Charlie avoidance scenarios, and more of your aviation questions and feedback. This episode is packed with aviation gold and you don’t want to miss it!
