OB265: I Show You as IFR Now

Episode 265 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: Alpha Golf toured three facilities in the greater Cowboy Bravo area and shares all of his observations like the high volume of traffic, the complexity of the airspace, and the workload on each controller.  We also discuss go arounds, ADS-B coverage and equipage, and magically making a VFR aircraft IFR.  This is a really fun episode you won't want to miss!  Happy Monday!
