Key Takeaways:

  • A student pilot preparing for departure from Naples (KAPF) to Miami asked Air Traffic Control for confirmation on their flight direction.
  • The pilot specifically inquired, "so, then, you want me to go east?"
  • Naples Tower responded humorously, confirming that "east" would be the easiest way to get to Miami, unless the pilot wished to go "completely around the globe."
