License to Learn (with The Best!)
Two years ago when I earned my Private Pilot Certificate, I thought I was being given a license to fly. As my DPE signed the certificate and handed it to me, though, he told me that I was now in possession of a “license to learn.” In that moment I didn’t fully comprehend how right he was! All it took to convince me was starting IFR training a few months later, and thankfully that was about the time I discovered this brilliant podcast! The hosts, RH and AG, both controllers and pilots themselves, make this ongoing learning both practical and enjoyable! Every week they skillfully peel back the many layers of complexity of the NAS, helping pilots of every stripe more fully understand how all the pieces fit together and making us better, safer participants in the use of our nation’s airspace in the process. The best part? We get to laugh along with the hosts and become part of a community they’ve built called Opposing Bases as they invite and respond to questions and feedback from all of us. This podcast should be listed in the FAR/AIM as required listening to maintain currency and competence for all pilots and controllers! Who knew it could be this fun?!? Give it a try… we’ll ALL be better for it! — Mike Juliet Bravo

Great podcast for pilots that want to learn about how ATC works. AG and RJ are both controllers and pilots, and provide great insights on the inner workings of ATC. As a pilot, I have learned a lot that helps in my flying. Highly recommended!
