OB289: I Think We’re Alone Now

Episode 289 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: On this week’s show, we discuss a listener’s “possible pilot deviation”.  Why did they receive the Brasher warning?  Who is waiting for the phone call?   What information will be requested on the initial phone call?  We share our opinions on the issue and discuss what administrative tasks are being completed, why the controller may have issued the warning, and the possible outcomes.  RH and AG also discuss a no radio landing, routing around Class Bravo airspace, and tons of listener questions.  You don’t want to miss this episode!

Question of the Week/Month from Patron Papa Tango: We’ve all heard the term “DEAL”, we know what it means and the possible consequences for having one. What we don’t know is the origin. Is it one of the many thousands of acronyms that aviation seems to spawn every two to three minutes? Is it an acronym at all? Send your answer to feedback@opposingbases.com
