info_outlineEpisode 391 Show Notes
Topic of the show: In this episode, RH and AG revisit a recent ATC radar and radio outage to explore why some facilities/pilots can’t simply "call Center" when everything fails. They break down the structural differences between co-located and remote sectors and why redundancy didn’t work as expected. We also discussed a listener’s question about what happens when multiple aircraft are on conflicting courses: who has to move out of the way.
Feedback
1. SGAC Patron AD asks how controllers decide who to move out of the way when a conflict requires the controller to make a move.
