ATC Best Practices
Webinar date: September 12, 2023
Time: 1900 Central Time/0000Z September 13
About this Presentation
Pilots and air traffic control are a team, and good communication is vital to safety and efficiency. In this program Ryan Hampton and Adam Garrison—RH and AG of the popular Opposing Bases podcast—will cover:
- Uncontrolled field Operations: Pattern communications and IFR releases
- IFR airborne pick-ups and flight following requests: sound like a pro
- Cruise deviations: how to help ATC plan for your reroute for inclement weather
- Descent Planning on longer IFR flights: how to get what you want with crossing restrictions
- Low and close IFR operations: speed and configuration planning and anticipating ATC instructions
Viewers will be able to type in their questions to be answered during the event. We’ll explain how to do so at the beginning of the webinar.
Although this American Bonanza Society program is oriented toward pilots of Beech airplanes, the discussion, techniques and procedures described are valuable to the pilot of any airplane.
