OB138: Class Delta Code Confusion

Episode 138 Show Notes

 

Topic of the show: This week we will discuss our opinions on navigating complex airspace with several different controlling agencies and airspace boundaries.  Who should you call when you are approaching a Class Delta?  How far above the Delta should you fly?  What does the controller see when you are tagged up by another facility?
