Hello!
I want to join IFATC, so, i passed Written exam, and ended my training and now need to find time to have practice exam.
And i want to ask You, what airport You can recommend to have practice sessions in?
Go for smaller airports (eg. not EGLL, KLAX, KSFO, etc) with 2+ runways to practise patterns. I couldn’t tell you airports off head but there are many out there! Good luck!
Typically, quieter airports with parallel runways are the best for aspiring IFATC controllers to practice and hone their skills. However, there are also some great locations for practicing single or intersecting runway operations. Here’s a great list made by an IFATC Supervisor/Trainer from the official IFATCEG website.
I suggest avoiding popular places like KLAX, EGLL and others. Try something like KSMF (next to KSFO you get some traffic). Or EGCC (next to EGLL) and so on.
I used KDAL 95% of the time it’s a great smaller airport with only 2 parallel runways and it is great for most things besides all the intersection stuff
During my training, I suggest airports like PGUM, KFLL, and KLCK for parallel runways. For airports with intersecting (which I suggest you practice for) use airports like KLGA.
