Topic of the show: On this week’s show, we discuss the filing of a flight plan to practice approaches at multiple airports in actual IMC weather. How does a pilot let ATC know what they want to do in the filed flight plan? What can the pilots do to maximize efficiency on a practice flight? We also discuss easing back in to work after some time off, navigating busy airspace VFR, and more of your awesome aviation questions and feedback.
