“Gentlemen, I’m a near-checkride student pilot based at a Delta airport under the western shelves of the Big Apple Bravo. Once the proverbial “stick-wiggling” phase of my training gave way to mainly procedures, regulations, navigation and communication, I noticed that much like learning a language, there is no substitute for immersion. Since I can only fly at most a couple of days a week, OB has been an invaluable way for me to keep living in aviation world, hearing the locals speak the dialect, even when family and work demand my return to earth. It’s smoothed my training immensely, and helped my interaction with ATC. For both simple things like “what on earth is a ‘local’ controller” or more, shall we say, empathetic ones like “why am I still hurtling downwind in the pattern and about to run into this hill? I wonder if this trainee controller has forgotten I’m here”, OB has been terrific. Thanks for the podcast and all the best for the new year. I look forward to reporting my successful checkride very soon. -GFHD”

“Every week is another great insight into the ins-and-outs of ATC and pilot interactions. That it's able to be delivered in such a humourous and down to Earth way is what makes this show great.
Oh, and the ATC Sak jingles totally do it too.
Came for the info, stayed for the laugh...”Read full review »

“As a student pilot in the middle of my private certifcate, I'm a long way from using some of the IFR topics discussed. But its very helpful to see the world from an ATC perspective, and especially from the ATC perspective of controllers who are also pilots and understand both sides. ...”Read full review »
