112. Controller Conundrum

Instructors: John Krug

This month, the roles are reversed and you’re a controller trying to help a pilot in need. The pilot’s plight puts you in the hot seat, where you see several options—none of which are found anywhere in the controller’s manual. Do you play by the book, or give the pilot what he really needs?

109. Evasive Action in Norfolk

Instructors: Doug Stewart

93. Lonely In Paradise

91. Clear As New York Snow

Instructors: Bob Nardiello

Some routes for IFR flight are direct at any altitude you want, and others are down a tunnel ATC assigns without room for compromise.
