| For pilots operating at an airport with an operating control tower, there are a number of benefits, but it also requires that pilots adhere to the procedures established for that airport and airspace. Although many procedures are common at towered airports, many times there are unique procedures. Knowing these unique procedures can facilitate working with the tower controllers and get you safely to your destination.
San Carlos Flight Center invites Orlando Felix, Air Traffic Manager for San Carlos Airport, as he shares the relationship between controllers and pilots with the pilot community. He will describe some of the unique challenges that exist at SQL and how pilots and controllers can more effectively work together to improve safety and efficient operations. If you operate at SQL you will want to tune in to learn about operations at SQL. Ever wonder why the ground controllers instruct pilots to taxi to the runup area? Or why the ATIS mentions that IFR departure should contact ground 10 minutes prior to taxi? These and many other questions will be answered. |
