Episode 224 Show Notes

\xa0

Topic of the show: AG and RH revisit wake turbulence avoidance and interactions with control towers that may be placing pilots in a tight spot behind a larger, wake producing aircraft.\xa0 What can pilots do to prevent inadvertent wake encounters and more importantly, how can they safely convey their needs to ATC?\xa0 Sometimes telling ATC \u201cunable\u201d is the start of a valuable exchange of information that can keep the plane safe! \xa0We also discuss low altitude warnings, helicopter white outs, using cell phones in flight, and what happens if a controller can\u2019t give a briefing.\xa0 You don\u2019t want to miss this week\u2019s episode!
