Would love some feedback on my controlling. Especially interested in getting more experience with more complex pattern work!
See recent replies in thread for info on where I am currently controlling (if applicable).
Thanks for joining and taking the time to provide feedback!
UPDATE: I just passed my IFATC practical test and am now part of IFATC. 😀 I am leaving this thread open at least for a while as a means to continue to seek feedback and improve. See you on expert!
OPEN: EDDF @ 07:15Z for about 30 min - tower and ground
EDIT: Closed @ 08:13Z. Don’t know if it had anything to do with this thread but appreciate the turn out for anyone that might see this!
NOTE: Opening briefly at EDDF in case any of the current inbounds find this thread and want to give feedback. Will be open until about 07:45Z. Will do a more formal open with longer availability soon.
If you open now (EDDL), I will try to get some people to fly for you. Let me know…
I would be also happy to attend :)
Awesome. Will open in 10 minutes!
OPEN: EDDL starting now. Will plan to be open for about 45 minutes (until ~ 20:30Z). Will be controlling tower & ground.

Two things I want to point out.
There is no need to tell “Enter right DWN runway 05r…” when I stay on the same runway.
I didn’t touch down when you send me exit runway when able
Good job overall. Keep it up!!
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for participating! Really appreciate it.
Thanks for pointing out that I don’t need to provide pattern entry instructions each time. I just rewatched part of the “Perfect ATC Test” video and I missed that. Will definitely make life easier for me and reduce radio traffic. Also clearer for pilots since that is the expectation.
Good feedback on the timing for the exit direction. I have typically tried to issue almost immediately after touchdown once I see the AC decelerating. Sounds like I was much earlier than that for you. I will change to provide exit instructions later in the rollout.
Thanks again!
Chris
When you see the speed is below 100kts, then you should give exit clearence 😉
…or even better: turn on your volume loud enough, so you can hear when the aircraft has finished with reversing his engines. I normally aim for 60 - 50 kts.
I am working toward joining IFATC and have been working with a IFATC member. Would love feedback!!
