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. Patron ABM asks about delaying departures for approaches to a nearby airport. 3. SGAC Patron JAS ask about zig zag routing over water.    Mentioned on the show: Bold Method, Class Charlie Airspace: https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/airspace/the-logic-behind-class-c-airspace/ Have a great week and thanks for listening!  Visit our website at OpposingBases.com You can support our show using Patreon or visiting our support page on the website.  Keep the feedback coming, it drives the show!
