About this episode
Episode 255 Show Notes Topic of the show: On this week's show we discuss double IFR flight plans, handling in flight malfunctions expeditiously but safely, and more of your awesome aviation questions and feedback. Why was the controller trying to convince an inbound aircraft to a towered airport to cancel IFR? What happened to their outbound flight plan? And how can the pilot navigate the awkward moment on the downwind? This was another ad free, 100% Patron supported episode with all content courtesy of show Patrons! Thank you! Timely Feedback: 1.
