Brief Description:

Join us as we analyze both sides of the "squawk/talk" communication link. We'll look deeper into miscommunications, review best communication practices, and discuss the vital transponder role, assessing responsibilities of the controller and pilot.  A deeper look into the capabilities of the TRACON facility may provide options during normal and emergency situations.  And of course we'll have an interactive Q&A session with a review of local airspace/airport updates and common issues.
