OB249: TRACON Dessert

Episode 249 Show Notes   Topic of the show: On this week's show, RH and AG discuss ways flight schools can organize and plan their flights to help ATC and reduce unnecessary flying miles and extra back and forth exchanges of information.  What techniques did our flight schools employ to keep everyone safely separated during practice missions and what did ATC do to help us reduce communications?  This is a packed episode with tons of aviation gold.  Enjoy!   Timely Feedback: 1.
