Pulls back the curtain on the ATC playbook
Prior to listening to Opposing Bases, flying IFR in the NAS felt a little like being plucked off the stands to join a (mostly) pro basketball team. While you know everyone is working to get the ball in the hoop without fouling the other players, your teammates are obviously operating from a 1,000-page playbook that no one thought to share with you. So you spend a lot of your flying time trying to reverse engineer what and why things are happening. After listening to the show, I feel like I've read, if not the playbook, at least the executive summary. I now now predict ATC calls. Also, the professionalism that results has to lower everyone's blood pressure. This may be especially the case for me, because I fly a SETP and get the feeling controllers are mostly willing to treat pilots of our type like airline pilots, but they seem often to have their fingers crossed doing so -- at least until you demonstrate you're a pro. I strongly encourage you to listen to and to support the show.Read full review »
