Episode 273 Show Notes

Topic of the show: This week\u2019s show is about radar patterns.\xa0 What can you expect when you arrive from the departure side of the airport? How can you plan your descent when you are being sequenced to the airport under VFR?\xa0 Why do controllers keep you so far away from the field before placing you on final?\xa0 We answer all these questions and also discuss ELTs, flight service, and using VFR/IFR flight plans depending on the complexity of the airspace.\xa0 This is a really fun episode and you don\u2019t want to miss it!
