OB354: Falling Ice Rocks

Episode 354 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: On this week's show, AG and RH answer a tricky terrain question from a pilot departing a controlled airport.  What can pilots do to prepare for performance issues in terrain?  Does the issuance of a SID require any special consideration in high terrain?  And what other options existed for the tower controller to reach a safe outcome?  We also discuss impeccable podcast timing, a "curiosity mindset", and "square your base to final" phraseology.
