Episode 292 Show Notes   Topic of the show: On this week’s show, we try to dispel some myths about Class Charlie airspace.  How can pilots position themselves to remain safely separated from airplanes operating in and out of busier Class C airports?  Why is flight following so important in these areas?  We also discuss a tower controller’s rude behavior during otherwise normal operations, special VFR, and more interesting aviation questions.  This episode is packed with aviation gold nuggets and you don’t want to miss it!   Timely Feedback: 1. SGAC Patron SB brought cancellation cookies to the live show!  Thank you! 2. RH misspoke on the live episode.  We clarify some comments about Special VFR. 3. Patron Hotel Golf shares a fan girl moment.   Feedback 1. Patron Delta Hotel asks about tower and clearance etiquette. 2.
