Talk to an Air Traffic Controller – Q & A with Eddie Albert from Cincinnati (KCVG) ATC

It’s not uncommon for pilots to have some fear of interacting with Air Traffic Control (ATC) often concerned with making a mistake or of being judged by others on frequency. Not only is that the wrong attitude, but it can also deprive you of valuable services and even compromise safety. Controllers are humans just like pilots, and they’re actually there to help. Join ATC Specialist Eddie Albert from Cincinnati Approach Control and learn what controllers expect from pilots, plus some tips for your next request to ATC.

The presentation consists of Q&A from attendee question submissions. This format and opportunity to hear directly from a controller is one you won’t want to miss to get the straight talk from ATC.
