Summary 241 Max reads and comments on an email from a low time pilot who felt ATC was partially to blame for an RV-10 accident discussed in episode #239. Max explains that pilots are responsible for telling ATC when they don’t understand an instruction, which this pilot didn’t do. The pilot felt that since a chart didn’t match a controller’s clearance that ATC was to blame.
