Hello everyone! I just started radar training and I really want to improve my skills! I SO appreciate any and all feedback that you have for me! My goal is to be a strong member of our radar team at IFATC and your feedback truly means the world to me, so I can accomplish my goals! :D
Hey! Honestly not much to say! I think you did quite good!
Only thing that woke up a little was when you announced âexpect flight plan deviationâ shouldnât that have been âexpect vectors for the ILS runway 4â?
Other than that it was great! Thanks for the service!:))
Good initial contact and vectors. These vectors were sufficient to take me all the way to the airport. A small deviation from 130 to 140 wasnât needed because even if I was closer to the airport when I reached the cone, a clearance at a lower altitude to keep up with the GS wouldâve been acceptable.
Great intercept. Keep it up!
Good handoff.
Second Approach - Visual (Vectors)
When descending me down to 2000Ft on DW, you couldâve used that opportunity to turn me to base. This was because there was no other traffic in the proximity of my aircraft at that moment, because terrain allowed for it, and because it would expedite my approach.
While on base (close to the cone), N2291C was getting fairly close to me, and it was very close to being a bust. The first thing you couldâve done to prevent this would be to preemptively anticipate vectors for N2291C by turning him away from me. The next thing that couldâve been done was using speed commands. By reducing the aircraftâs speed, you could make sure that the spacing between aircraft is exactly where you want it. A rule of thumb for training is to never be afraid to use speed commands when it is needed. Lastly, you couldâve descended me to 1500 on base to ensure proper separation with the aircraft. That said, remember to never give vectors below 1000Ft because that will be a terrain bust.
I pressed RAIS right as you gave me additional vectors. It was good that you cleared me, but you can still give additional vectors before or even after the aircraft RAIS if the controller feels itâs necessary.
Good handoff.
Third Approach - Radar Vectors (RV)
Climbed me up to 3000Ft on initial contact. I would keep the altitude for RV lower in general (if terrain and traffic permit) so that you can expedite approaches when possible.
Cleared me on DW, which is technically fine, but I was far too high to land at the point where I was, so it would be better to descend me to 2000Ft or maybe 1500Ft on base and then clear me. This would allow for a smoother approach, along with ensuring that efficiency is being maximized.
Overall, solid job today! Thanks for the service, and have an amazing night!
