Episode 349 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: Incorrect Altimeters by Patron SE On this week’s show, RH and AG discuss the findings of a report about an incident involving an incorrect altimeter setting and a near miss with terrain. We discuss techniques for controllers and pilots to prevent this from happening and illustrate how important altimeter inputs are for modern avionics.  We also discuss northeast ATC escape routes, altitude filing on zigzag flights, and more of your awesome feedback.  This episode is packed with important information and you don’t want to miss it!
