OB391: Lost Radar Procedures, Revisited
Episode 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. AG and RH will be recording a live episode of Opposing Bases at AirVenture 2025, hosted by AOPA! Saturday, July 26 at 10am, AOPA Pavilion. Join us for a live recording, audience Q&A, and plenty of laughs. After the show, we’ll head next door for a Meet & Greet at the AOPA 39 Lounge. Come say hi—we’d love to meet you!

And the best part? The voices you’ll hear on the radio aren’t just any controllers - they’re the real Oshkosh air traffic controllers meaning you’ll be getting as close to the real thing as possible, all from the comfort of your home cockpit. SimVenture is happening July 11-13th on the PilotEdge flight simulator network. The event is free for new users. Visit to learn more.” Have a great week and thanks for listening!
