Since I am not from Britain I do not know those regulations, I’m sorry.

Also you did really tight patterns i tought that you would leave some space while the other aircraft was departing. So i cleared him to take-off. I could not send a “extend downwind” instruction because you were number one and traffic was 5 miles away

Uhhh… well you’re a bit wrong here. it’s fine to clear someone to land as number 2 while the other is cleared, by clearing them you expect using common sense the other aircraft will have had time to exit the runway before the aircraft lands

This is perfectly acceptable to clear aircraft with someone on the runway on Infinite Flight, as we follow the FAA guidelines while also allowing controllers to apply their local regs as a personal preference. I appreciate the help but we also want to ensure that there is no spread of misinformation. I’d recommend continuing to work at qualifying for the IFATC minimum requirements as well. Thanks!

Can you show me the official rule of this? A quote with a source?

No, I just wish to see proof of your statement

I think Tyler’s wealth of experience in the Air Force as a controller trumps your second hand knowledge. However, as he said it is personal preference If a decision has been reached, why continue to argue on a public thread. Take it to PM next time.

We know FAA rules differ from European rules. But for someone trying to become IFATC, in IF, which doesn’t follow European rules, it’s not salient.

Also, just to let you know. There is actually no rule stating they can not clear a number 2 aircraft to land on the official documentation;

From what I could infer, you can be cleared at any time, and it is up to the pilot to keep to that order - Appednix 7 and 10

People who are IFATC recruiters and mods…people actually tasked with providing training for IFATC.

It’s not about being treated well or badly it’s ensuring people arnt getting incorrect information, I’m also from the UK and Iv never heard of the ruling where more than two aircraft can’t be cleared, if you see Heathrow first thing in the morning I’m pretty sure there is more than 2 cleared how close they keep there inbounds.

Now you know the procedures IFATC operate you can learn and we can all move on :)
