Description

As pilots, we see other pilots all the time.  But what about those mysterious voices on the other end of the radio... the air traffic controllers.  Sometimes they may seem like robots spitting out clearances at a million miles an hour.  Maybe they'll be the voice guiding you to safety if you encounter bad weather or an engine failure in flight.  Possibly you've even been lectured by one for failing to comply with an instruction.  But believe it or not there are real people behind those voices on the radio, and we've got three of them in studio with us today on the show!  Thanks to professional air traffic controllers Clay, Nick, and Gio for joining us on this week's episode of Behind The Prop!

Behind the Prop is the Podcast for anyone involved in aviation from general aviation to professional pilots. Our hosts Bobby Doss is the owner of a flight school in Houston, Texas, and Wally Mulhearn is a pilot for a major airline and is also a designated pilot examiner (DPE) based in Houston, Texas. Weekly they tell stories, share lessons and tips from behind the prop. Together they have over 24,400 hours of flight time (Wally has over 24,000 of those) and collectively they provide very unique perspectives on general aviation, airplanes, and all things aviation.
