Description: Episode 338 Show Notes   Topic of the show: The End of Flight Following by Controller Charles Delta On this week’s show, AG and RH discuss the differences between flight following and the perceived safety of ADS-B only flying.  We discuss the advantages of flight following and how they outweigh any perceived disadvantage of engaging in flight following with ATC.  We also discuss VFR through Class Bravo airspace, callsign mismatch, and missed approaches protection after a practice approach.  This episode is packed with valuable content to make you a safer pilot and you don’t want to miss it!   Timely Feedback: 1. Patron JT makes fun of us for bungling up UK and ICAO flight levels 2. Patron JS discusses 747 touch and goes 3. Patron DJS asks about IFR vs VFR going through B airspace 4.
