Hey there!
I was just flying a few patterns in the TBM and wanted to give you some feedback.
Positive feedback first:

  • The transition altitude of 3.000ft was correct
  • The “Extend Downwind” command was pretty useful in the situation with the intersecting runways but you could have called my base a little earlier

Things you should work on:

  • Every aircraft that is intending to land on a runway or perform a touch and go requires a pattern entry (unless the aircraft was cleared for an approach by a radar controller) and a clearance.
  • After my transition I called inbound for touch and go. You immediately cleared me for the option (which is the correct clearance btw) but you need to send a pattern entry first (in this case “Enter left downwind runway 32L”).
  • After my first touch and go I wanted to do another one but I never received a clearance. Aircraft need a clearance to land on a runway or do a touch and go.
    If an aircraft is doing touch and goes it requires a new clearance after every T&G.
  • There was an aircraft requesting a transition at FL290. Tower’s airspace only extends 5000ft AAL vertically (so in this case up to 5300ft). This is why can’t clear an aircraft for a transition at FL290. (The aircraft also shouldn’t even contact you.
  • The “Cleared for immediate takeoff” command should only be used if absolutely necessary. In this case there was no traffic on final or anywhere near the aircraft, so a normal takeoff clearance would have been the better choice.

There are still a few thing you need to work on. I would suggest to watch some tutorials on Youtube and read over the ATC manual.
Good luck!
Nils :)

Hello Nils,

great! First of all thank you for your valuable feedback. I will take it into account.
I shouldnt have missed that transition request. About that i´m a little angry;)
Would love to do that again later and i will of course try to improve on your advices.

Have a nice evening.
