Now it looks as if PPrune fora are the new briefing offices !
Well I think those of us who work with Class E and G find life is easier when pilots are educated and pilots also feel more comfortable when they have some more knowledge too. I don't like the thought that some pilots are 'fearful' of ATCs when a bit of help might make a lot of difference.
