Episode 227 Show Notes

Topic of the show: AG and RH talk about life before GPS, stray visual approach paths, and forced IFR cancellation.  We also hear from a couple pilots that overflew Bravo and didn’t realize they were in the worst spot possible.  This episode is packed with aviation gold, you don’t want to miss it!

Timely Feedback:

1. 1. SGAC Patron Sierra Bravo want to know if “cookies for cancellations” is a real thing or just a myth?
2. 2. The Terps Elf heard our call for a change to “N/A at Night” RNAV approaches!
