Topic of the show: On this week’s show, AG and RH discuss the dreaded flashing red light from the control tower indicating it was unsafe to land. The pilot was experiencing an emergency and determined landing was the safest way to conclude the flight. Why would a tower controller deny a landing? What other options does the pilot have during a no-radio emergency?
