Episode 269 Show Notes

\xa0

Topic of the show: When you are a newly certified pilot, air traffic controllers can be intimidating and the system can make new private pilots apprehensive about using the services available to them.\xa0 In this week\u2019s episode, we dive deep into a pilot\u2019s first real interaction with ATC after getting a rating; what went wrong and how can they improve or better understand what\u2019s happening in the background to make their next experience better?\xa0 We give our opinions on the interaction and explain all the details that may have led to the exchange.\xa0 This episode is packed with aviation gold and you don\u2019t want to miss it!
