Controlling @ OMBD today TS

Good day to all. I just have some questions I hope aren’t stupid but I’m inquisitive. I was controlling ground and Tower ATC in Dubai today on the training server and I wanted to know if I was doing the right things whilst controlling. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Fist let me say thank you to all the pilots who arrived or departed OMDB while I controlled for 2 1/2 hours. It was amazing to have all pilots following ATC instructions, not one pilot deviated. For the training server that is very rare. Now for my questions

  1. Was my operations correct (I had all departures 🛫 on RWY 30R and all arrivals 🛬 on 30L)? Believe it or not, all pilots complied 😱🤣
  2. Was it okay to send my departure traffic to the Dubai Arrivals controller frequency when there was no arrivals (I did this when I didn’t have a Dubai Departures controller)? I hope I didn’t piss the controller off 🫣 I had 15 departures but no arrivals
  3. Okay this question is a side topic lol. I just started playing this simulator a month ago. Is 6255 operations good within a month 🤔?

Hey there!

This is fine.

This is also fine. It’s standard practice in IFATC to send departing aircraft to any open approach frequency if it’s quiet.

6255 operations in a month is a good amount!

If you have any other ATC-related questions feel free to ask here or send me a message :)

Great work @ Dubai.

You seem very passionate about Air Traffic Controlling on Infinite Flight.
If you’d like to continue this on the Expert Server, I recommend joining Infinite Flight Air Traffic Control (IFATC).

It’s going to take me forever to get to grade 3…🤣 97% of the time I’m controlling when I’m online 🤣. I only have 12 landings 😔… thankfully 0 violations

I love controlling airspace. On my days off from work I spend my day controlling for about 8 or nine hours (with my required FAA breaks 🤣). It’s like my second job. I’m just getting into APP/DEP controlling…I love the underated Departure Frequency…I tend not to on guard when I control DEP and I still get surprised when a departure actually turnes into my frequency 🤣💯

are you an ATC IRL? if it’s so, that’s great! I recommend you leveling to grade 3 and join IFATC
