Episode 290 Show Notes

Topic of the show: On this week’s show, we discuss the importance of altitude selection and routing when you are flying near busy Class Bravo airspace.  Why does clearance delivery issue routing that doesn’t work for your entire route?  What can you do to ensure a smooth, reroute free, flight in the NAS?  What happens in the background during a reroute?  We discuss all of this and break down a recent IFR flight with 4 different reroutes.  We also discuss preferential routing, traffic management units (TMU), and ground metering.  This is an action packed episode.  You don’t want to miss it!  Congratulations to all of the checkride passes recently!  Keep up the great work!
