Hi, I’m Omer, I want to attend IFATC but I need your help to identify my mistakes. I would appreciate it if you could show me my mistakes. Thank you.
Server: Training
The line up and wait command was not necessary since I was the only aircraft using that runway
When an aircraft requests a departure with “remaining in the pattern” you must give them a traffic direction (make left/right traffic)
When an aircraft intends to do pattern work, it’s best to give them a “cleared for the option” and is best to do that when the aircraft is on crosswind or early downwind
Takeoff clearance was given without pattern instructions. Should be make left traffic (since I’m on 31L)
Runway change:
No pattern entry, straight to clearance + left traffic on 31R.
Should be Enter right downwind Runway 31R (pattern entry, since I’m on the upwind), sequence if needed, before a clearance + a traffic instruction (Make right traffic in this case).
It was also a bit of an upwind conflict, in which case you can tell me to extend upwind and let the potential conflict pass before getting me to enter right downwind.
It’s more efficient and less confusing if traffic on 31R makes right traffic and traffic on the left will make left traffic.
Also, unsure if you’re on the unofficial mentoring hub on Discord. Let me know if you’ll be interested in that.
