Hey,good day!
so just a quick small easy guide for Training Pilots to follow and making their experience much more enjoyable and fun for others. I won’t go too much in depth, you’ll learn as you progress to Grade 3.
**GROUND**:
When you’re on ground frequency and it’s heavily congested of aircraft around you - please consider not requesting pushback as you will be told to HOLD POSITION. Don’t pushback without permission because this creates major conflicts with other aircraft around you and will create chaos. When you’re instructed to pushback to the NORTH, SOUTH , WEST or EAST or you must follow the instruction as we are trying to lead you to a runway with less aircraft or preventing traffic.
**TAXING to Runway XX**
Please don’t taxi to a runway that’s not in use, it’s very annoying that we always have to say “CHECK RUNWAY ASSIGNMENT. Please don’t taxi to the opposite side of the runway- this causes many go around ; departure halts etc. When you are told to taxi to a specific runway DO IT!! When told to CONTACT TOWER WHEN READY - you are allowed to change your frequency as soon as you are in queue , if you request you’ll receive You have already been instructed to change frequency. Pleasd don’t cut in the line, don’t change your taxi path , you’ll cause confusion. DONT TAXI WITHOUT PERMISSION!!
**TOWER:**
When you are tuned in Tower’s frequency - you are to remain PATIENT, please don’t flood the frequencies by wanting to depart or Land. If you were cleared to land there is seriously no need for you to send that you are “Inbound”. You’ll receive You were already cleared to land, avoid unnecessary reports. When you are given a departing sequence - obey it , don’t cut in front of another pilot. Don’t cross the runway when there is a aircraft on a 2-4nm final - most of you do it on purpose so the aircraft on final has to do a go-around , please don’t do this, it’s very annoying that now we have to instruct you to exit the runway. When you are told to maintain a certain speed when you’re inbound or final please do maintain that speed to maintain separation between you and the departing runway. When you land please cross over the HOLD SHORT LINE - this is to indicate that you have fully exited the runway and that it is clear for other aircraft’s to Land or Depart. Don’t go AFK on the runway. Its quite unfortunate violations aren’t given in Training.
If you’re a troll , stay in Grade 2.
Im encouraging every Grade 2 pilot to be well prepared of what’s to come in Grade 3. Please follow instructions. Grade 3 IFATC is strictly not a joke, you will be sent back to Training Server with immediate effect if you have broken rules. Shall you need to query an appeal ? Go here 👇👇:
