Hello, I have applied for joining IFATC and I find my practical skills weak. So, I thought of practicing and made this thread. Hope you all join me and help me out in practicing and identifying my weak points in practical skills of controlling.
Server: Training
Runway in use: N/A
Time: N/A
Congratulations, and I hope to see you in the Discord server in the future! Unfortunately I canāt stop by, but I wanted to congratulate you on passing the written šŖ
Thank you @AviationChampion. No problem. Hope to see you next time.
Iāll stop by after I finish my flight from EHAM-KSEA in the ES. Iām gonna be on the ground in about 15 minutes.
Any feedback about my controlling? @Cooper_Marcukaitis
Yes. Iāll have some feedback later tonight as I have to go somewhere right now. You did well though
feel free to tag me in future :)
Tag me in your future session!
Feedback from Delta 1060 Heavy (normally N915DD):
Sorry that this feedback is late. I had to go do some things yesterday.
Great transition response!
You can give sequences before pilots reach their pattern legs. For example, when I stated I was inbound for 16R, you waited about a minute (until I was to the downwind leg) to tell me to enter a downwind. I think itās more efficient to have the pilots do a little work in remembering which leg they need to enter. Also, this gives you more time to focus on other aircraft that need attention.
Great runway change response!
Make sure you are aware of which runways you assign to aircraft and what one theyāre lined up for. For example, you cleared me for the option for 16L, but I was lined up for 16C. In this case, a reminder would be good to send and if needed, a go-around.
Rest of the session was great!
Overall, awesome session! Make sure to keep studying and practicing. Hopefully, we can get more pilots to join next time!

Thanks a lot @Cooper_Marcukaitis for giving feedback. I will do make a note of these things and make necessary changes in my controlling from next time. And I will do remember to tag all of you @Cooper_Marcukaitis @Guitar @CompetitiveDivide320 during next sessions.
Hi, @Flyingshib! Tag me the next time you open, please!
Hello, @Guitar @Cooper_Marcukaitis @Andy @CompetitiveDivide320. ATC open at KSAN. If you have any suggestions in my controlling do let me know.
Would you like to provide any feedback about my controlling today @Cooper_Marcukaitis?
Feedback from N915DD:
Great job today!
Great transition response!
Great pattern entry call!
Since you already gave me left traffic on the first landing, you didnāt need to tell me to enter the left downwind leg on my second.
When I called to let you know I was gonna make a full stop, you only needed to call āroger.ā The landing clearance was unnecessary as you cleared me for the option prior to that.
Rest of the session was great!
Overall, awesome session! Make sure to keep studying and practicing. Hopefully, we can get more pilots to join next time!

ATC frequency will be opened at KSJC (1730Z-1800Z). Will it possible for all of you to join my ATC practice session at that time? @Cooper_Marcukaitis @CompetitiveDivide320 @Guitar @Andy.
Possibly. Iām currently on a flight from Los Angeles to Taipai, but should be on the ground within 2.5 hrs.
^^^ @SierraHotel and @GDS111006?
Canāt,Normally I am asleep that timeš³
Flight Update: Iāve got an ETE of 1:37. I might be a tad late to the session, but should still be able to make it :)
I am in a need of practicing ground controlling too. Since, you (@Cooper_Marcukaitis) have already helped me out in practicing tower controlling. So, for ground controlling and sequencing practice I think I am in a need of 2 to 3 persons who can help me out with that.
